How safe are our homes?
Only as safe as the products
installed in them.
Safety: It’s always a concern for home
builders and electrical contractors – especially
considering a statistic from the 2004 Ontario Electrical
Safety Report conducted by the Electrical Safety
Authority. The report found that electrocution from the
use of faulty equipment constituted 10 percent of
occupational fatalities. |

Targeting Unsafe Products
"Counterfeiting can kill, and no person or nation is
exempt from the dangers posed by the proliferation of
counterfeit products." This is a direct quote from the
Chair of the newly organized Canadian
Anti-Counterfeiting Network (CACN) at their official
launch in May this year. |

Buyer Beware. If the price seems too good to be true...
A west coast distributor of electrical products
wanted to know if a couple of his suppliers were
legitimate. They were! One reader wanted to know how he,
as a contractor, was able to determine if an electrical
product was counterfeit. Of course the usual answers
apply: purchase from a reliable source, check the
certification labels, etc. |
