Webinar details
Electrical safety failures are rarely random. They are often linked to overlooked design issues, misunderstood principles, or gaps between theory and what happens in practice.
In this free webinar, industry expert Naser Hash will examine common electrical safety issues involving earthing systems and lightning protection, with a focus on why failures occur and what engineers and technical professionals should understand when working with these systems.
Drawing on practical industry experience, Naser will discuss why earthing systems can fail despite appearing adequate in design, common misconceptions surrounding lightning protection, and electrical hazards that may not always be obvious until they create a serious safety risk.
