Some employees as part of their job will be required to check out, certify, or spot check electrically powered equipment and its installation. Completion of this Part 2 webinar and companion Part 1 webinar of Understanding Irrigation Electrical Safety for NRCS Employees will inform employees of potential hazards and ways to protect themselves as they carry out their duties.
