Member You - NFPA-70E Compliance Takes More Than A Label
Overhead costs are those expenses that do not vary with your production level. A term that is synonymous with overhead cost is sunk cost. The cost of the item or service is sunk regardless of whether you generate any income or not. You need to pay for electricity and basic phone service and these costs do not go up as you bill more hours.Because these overhead costs are spent right from day one, it is wise to try to minimize your totals.Overhead Cost MinimizationWork from home. This is the single largest way to save on overhead costs. There is no need at the start to spend your money renting commercial office space.Set up a separate personal credit card accou

Why waste time calling one insurance company after another to get health insurance quotes? Just as term life insurance rates dramatically decreased in price years ago after the price transparency of the Internet forced insurance companies into greater competition so too shopping for online health quotes is headed the same direction.What was once a very time consuming affair is now a matter of taking a few moments to key in basic health information. What was once a process that could involve days and even weeks for agents and insurance companies to prepare proposals – now many companies offer instant and online free health insurance quotes.So which insurance company to choose?

Unfortunately, most engineers I have spoken with are under the misconception that if they label equipment for arc-flash hazards, and enforce the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) per the label, they are in compliance with 70E and OSHA requirements. Nothing could be further from the truth. Arc-flash hazard labeling and PPE compliance are only a small part of 70E compliance and even a smaller part of a properly defined safety program.
Very few facility engineers appear to understand the thought process behind 70E or the basis for the standard. If maintenance people are not informed why they must work within certain safety constraints, then the arc-flash label and PPE requirements become merely another task that can be sidestepped.

A well constructed minisite with proven psychological formula turns into a red-hot cash machine.Simple one page minisite sells thousands of dollars worth of products on autopilot, this is not a secret anymore.But there is a particular process you need to follow.It is just like a recipe, where you need to mix all required ingredients to make a delicious dish. Miss one and you will end up with something tasteless.Similarly, apply all the required blocks to create a minisite and the results will follow, you will end up with a killer cash-machine.Miss one and you will ruin the entire sales process, then wonder why isn't your site making any money.Well co

The internet gives us many avenues that we can take in order to generate income streams on the web. One of those avenues comes in the form of online stores.There are many advantages of running an online store as opposed to running a brick and mortar type of establishment. We’ll take a look at some of those in a moment.I just decided on an online store just recently. I figured that instead of just creating one site for each digital product that I was selling, it might be cool to have at least one place for all my web promotions.I decided to promote and sell eBooks on the web. Why not? There are a countless number of them on the web. This is a great opportunity to ha

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet."In this famous quote from Act II of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet tells Romeo that a name is an artificial and meaningless convention, and the fact he is a Montague and she a Capulet (warring families) means nothing to their love.However, there is some strong evidence from the UK's Cranfield University - and elsewhere - that the name one gives a project does have a marked impact on the behaviour and motivation of the people involved. It may surprise you, but the name you give to your Intranet Project could well be the most important decision you make in the early stages of mobilisation!

The letter has traditionally been the central vehicle for written messages in the world of business. In fact, it still is. Even today, in spite of the continuing growth in e-mail, text messaging and other technologies, when we want to send important information in writing to people outside our companies or organizations, the letter is still the best choice.By its very nature---a printed message on paper---it creates the impression that it is important. In a sea of electronic communication, the letter stands out.Letters have many purposes: informing, persuading, selling, requesting, apologizing, confirming and much more. The content may vary, but structurally they have much in

Gary McGuire, a safety manager for a large pulp and paper mill in the Northwest says, “Safety must be operated by principal, not practice.” He stresses the “why” of safety, not just the dos and don’ts of a task. This knowledge gives people confronted with something out of the ordinary, the background to understand the potential dangers, enabling them to make safe choices. Safety is a culture that must be ingrained with principal. This culture starts from management and filters down to the worker where ultimate responsibility rests.
The current arc-flash phenomenon appears to be operating on fear rather than principal. The fear is massive lawsuits and OSHA fines if an accident does occur rather than a sound reasoning as to why a safety culture makes good business sense in daily operations. While it may have taken some fear in the initial movement to motivate companies toward implementing safety standards, if the safety aspect of arcflash is limited to labeling and PPE requirements, the inclination will soon wear off.
Labeling or stating PPE requirements will not prevent accidents. Accidents are prevented and lives are saved through a foundation of safety.
