Client Problem:
Averting disastrous outcomes for employees working around hazardous or energized environments.
Executives at an automotive manufacturing company recognized the value of preventative training, so they worked with NTT to conduct a series of electrical safety training courses for employees exposed to high
voltage settings and for employees in industrial electrical environments.
NTT Solution:
The training and the conveyance of that all important "Safety Attitude" paid off within a very short time. The seminars conveyed a real sense of the importance of maintaining safety vigilance.
A worker averted a potentially disabling or possibly fatal accident. While replacing a fuse in an unmarked cabinet, he recalled the NTT Electrical Safety seminar that he had attended the day before. According to the worker, the seminar prompted him to take precautions above and beyond the required safety level. Those precautionary steps may have saved his life. He paused long enough to access the potential hazards of the unmarked cabinet and he decided to err on the side of extreme caution. He suited up in level two P.P.E. gear. As he turned on the switch, an arc of electricity blasted his face, rendering
him sightless for 30 seconds. His protective gear was hot and his mask was blackened, but he
was able to walk away without any permanent damage.
This story of disaster averted is just one of thousands incidents that occur across a variety of industries-many of them with tragic outcomes. Companies are very quick to note how employee training was the reason that the employees were not seriously injured or killed. To be effective, the training received
needs to foster an attitude of professionalism in students that emphasizes a "Safety Attitude"- a profound respect for the safety issues surrounding their particular discipline. NTT delivered training that motivated employees to adjust their behavior to work safer and smarter.
