February 11, 2026 4:00 pm Eastern Time - Navigating Electrical Safety in the Semiconductor Environment

Practical Strategies for Risk, Design, and Compliance.

As facilities adapt to higher voltage and amperage equipment and systems, organizations face new risks, including arc flash hazards, thermal management challenges, and the need for specialized equipment and workforce training.

Dave will share insights drawn from years of practical experience, including work with leading technology firms, to help organizations navigate these challenges.

Key learning objectives include:

· Safety Risks and Mitigation Strategies – Understanding how high-power systems increase hazards such as arc flash and shock, and how protective measures, PPE requirements, and design strategies can reduce risks.

· Infrastructure and Design Considerations – Exploring the adaptations needed for production level equipment, and power distribution to support higher loads without compromising reliability.

· Compliance, Standards, and Training – Reviewing regulatory frameworks (e.g., NFPA 70E, IEEE standards) and emphasizing the importance of preparing the workforce to operate safely in mission-critical environments.
