The Joint Safety Forum sponsored by the NECA/IBEW 701 Safety Committee, PowerForward DuPage, as well as participation from the Electrical Contractors’ Association of City of Chicago (ECA) / Chicago & Cook County Chapter, NECA Safety Committee, featured a seminar called, “Navigating the Electrical Safety Compliance Triangle.”   The session had 45 registrants and was held on Monday, May 11, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. at the IBEW Local 701 Training Facility in Warrenville, IL.  Construction Safety Council instructor, Tom King delivered an informative 2-hour presentation addressing the codes and communications necessary to keep workers free from harm.

At the intersection of NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and NFPA 70B is a series of rules and regulations that impacts electrical installation, safety, and maintenance on every construction site. When used collectively, these codes complete the electrical safety compliance triangle. The burden of understanding it all rests on those who are most at risk.

We thank Tom for his presentation, as well as all that were able to attend.
