We see all kinds of "electrical issues" on "all kinds" of systems ..
I am always shocked at how frequently we see worn-out extension cords,
overheated wiring, and especially.. pinched wires in diesel-burners.
Meticulous, is not everyone's middle-name". Eh?
As most of you know, I manufacture machines..
I make a "big deal" about abuseability, reliability, performance & all,
but we have grown tall and strong, from what we learn in our service center.
We believe that EVERY responsible service-center should have a "process-proceedure"
of checking your system for reliability and Liability problems,
but there is MUCH more to YOUR exposure than the examples above..
At the jobsite..
Electric outlets, lighting junction-boxes, vending machines,
and metal-buildings can "cause YOU" safety issues.
Plugging into house current on site is an exposure problem..
You would be AMAZED at how many bad-ground and stray-wire issues
there are in commercial buildings.
I recommend ALL of you carry a cheap "outlet-tester" to every jobsite,
and TEST EVERY outlet you are "exposed to".
don't kill yourself, or anyone else over a pinched wire,
or a mis-wired outlet.
Keep your trucks and trailers neatly organized.
Train you worker-bees to respect the equipment (or hire somenoe that WILL).
Also be aware that generators of all kinds are equally dangerous..
improper wiring is FREQUENTLY found in portable equipment.
a little 2000 watt generator CAN KILL you.
A 16 amp charging system can start a BIG fire.
I can go on, and on.
Please post here your examples of what to watch out for..
Let's make this one of the MOST important threads on the internet !
Be SAFE ! .. protect yourself, and the environment,
get "trained" to do so, .. and prosper.
Life is about Sustainable "relationships".
