Creating a continuous improvement environment for electrical safety

Abstract

Efforts to improve the safety of personnel exposed to industrial electrical hazards may be considered part of an overall strategy to eliminate defects in manufacturing processes. A blueprint for strategy, design, and implementation of processes to link electrical safety to total quality improvement is presented. Applied methods, results, and future strategies are discussed. A continuous improvement process is applied to several examples, including the previously published electrically hazardous task classification flow sheet.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
