Best Practices

The Electrical Transmission & Distribution Partnership has developed several effective safety and health Best Practices. We define a “Best Practice” as a method that can be applied throughout the electrical industry that will assist the ET&D Partnership companies in reducing the frequency of incidents.

The Partnership has also developed Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for each safety and health Best Practice. All have been approved and posted on the official OSHA website for use by all employers.

Download Best Practices below. Safety briefs for each Best Practice can be found here.
