Fluke announces online safety resources for National Safety Month

May 23, 2019 – Making a mistake while working on a high-energy electrical system can cause serious injury to anyone who fails to take the right safety precautions. In anticipation of National Safety Month in June, Fluke is highlighting its safety content to create more awareness of its free online resources to improve workplace safety.
To help people better understand the risks inherent electrical systems and how to avoid making potentially dangerous mistakes, Fluke has created nearly 100 pieces of content on safety in the workplace.
