Mitigating the Risk of Using Non-Compliant Cables
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Did the cables that are being used in the project pass the safety and compliance requirements of OSHA? Or were they imported, bypassing the security mechanisms that are in place to keep us all safe? This course delves into the intricacies of cable safety and how to safeguard yourself from safety issues that may arise with the use of non-compliant cabling.
This presentation was originally delivered as part of the December 2021 BICSI vICT Forum.
