According to Dennis Hill, the 2016 Organizing Committee Chairman, “It’s the perfect location for the workshop’s 24^th year. We expect another record turn-out with leaders from around the world participating in this electrical safety community.”

Since 1991, the IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW) has been a source of groundbreaking papers and research that have shaped today’s electrical work practices and electrical safety standards (such as NFPA 70E and CSA Z462). Ken White, the ESW Technical Program Chair, explains “we have been fortunate to have attracted a consistently high quality of presenters and papers over the years. At the recent Louisville ESW, we had 22 Technical Presentations, 19 Focus (poster) Presentations, 6 four-hour Tutorials, and 5 case studies. Topics ranged from statistical analyses, arc flash calculation models, the evolving role of risk assessment in the standards, and the role of leadership in electrical safety programs. The diversity and range of papers is one of the reasons why this conference is rated as a ‘must attend’ by so many industry leaders.”
