Rob looks at the disparity in treatment between private landlords and social housing landlords when it comes to electrical safety certificates. He highlights a case where a private landlord in Hastings was fined £10,000 for failing to provide an electrical safety certificate, while Brighton and Hove City Council, owning over 25% of social housing homes without the necessary certificates, faced no consequences.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Landlords, both private and social housing, have a duty to provide safe and secure housing for tenants. Private landlords can face fines for not providing necessary certificates, such as electrical safety certificates. There is a disparity in how private landlords and social housing landlords are treated when it comes to compliance with regulations. Accountability is lacking for social housing landlords who fail to meet legal requirements, putting tenants at risk. It is important to raise awareness about the issue and hold councils and social housing landlords accountable for their failings. BEST MOMENTS "It is criminal that councils can seemingly get away with this, yet landlords cannot." "You should always have your certificates in place. But then we go to Brighton and Hove Council, and we live in Brighton and Hove, so we can speak with a bit of volition here." "There is no accountability, by the sounds of it. You're going to have people that, and God forbid, people that could die in social housing homes because electrical safety certificates haven't been put in." "There needs to be more accountability here. There needs to be a way that people can hold their local council, they can hold their feet to the fire."

Damon and Damo start this episode making excuses for why they haven't released an episode for a while. Tisha joins the episode a little late and adds value to the “excuse” conversation.  Happy 248th birthday to the Navy! Rest well to all the Sailors we lost on the USS Cole on 12 Oct 2000. What the hell did Will Smith do to get him in the eternal dog house? Tisha has been doing some very interesting things in her free time. The trio talks about it. Damo talks about the plight of being new at a command when social events are going down. He also takes back his shoutout of the ‘Chow Call” app. Damon takes 60 seconds (or more) to talk about football. Simone Biles is back in the news for being the GOAT! Damo comes to the realization that his greatest weapon is Microsoft Outlook. Have you seen the one TikTok video? You know, where the Sailor is blatantly violating the Electrical Safety program. What are the rates/department that you do not want any smoke with? Is there any better access than the access to qualify people in RADM? The Navy will miss its recruiting goals all around the board this year, with active duty numbers being approximately 7,000 less than our goal. Tisha celebrates 100% disability. Do Better: Damon - The heads at the NGIS and Navy Lodge. Damo -  Adults with immature restroom habits. Tisha - a personal do better regarding a realtor in the San Diego area. How important is it to discuss big global news stories with your division? Damo questions the necessity of celebrities to speak out after every issue. A comment from the last episode sparks a conversation. What's really going on with the Senior Enlisted Marketplace? Is “trust but verify” a dead figure of speech? A lot of comments were left under the CNOs video post about Suicide Prevention awareness. What exactly is it that we can do to help decrease ideations and suicides? A barrage of random questions ensues.

Electrical Safety On today's podcast, we'll be talking about electrical safety. So - stay tuned. You can find the show notes to each episode, links to the information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com. If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to.  It's based on exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips.  And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible. And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast! Electrical Safety As an owner, management, maintenance, Safety Coordinator, or staff, you must ensure that everyone around you gets home safe and sound after a productive day at work. Today, I want to bring your attention to a topic that's electrifying in more ways than one—Electrical Safety in factories and warehouses. From the circuits that power our machinery to the lighting that guides our way, electrical systems are the lifeblood of our operations. But they can also be a source of potential danger if not managed correctly.  Here are five ways we can implement better electrical safety in our workspace. Regular Inspections and Maintenance: Make it a routine to check all electrical installations for wear and tear. Loose connections, frayed wires, and faulty outlets can pose a significant risk. Schedule professional inspections at least once a year to ensure the electrical systems are in optimal condition and do regular walk-throughs. Proper Labeling: Label all circuit breakers, fuse boxes, and electrical panels. Everyone needs to understand which switches control which areas of the warehouse. In an emergency, this can save precious time and prevent accidents. Use GFCIs (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters): GFCIs should be installed where electricity and water may come into contact. GFCIs are designed to shut off electric power in the event of ground faults, thus preventing electrical shocks. Trust me, this is a feature you want to pay attention to. Cable Management: Keep cables, wires, and extension cords organized and away from high-traffic areas and walkways. Utilize cable management solutions like cable trays or wire organizers to keep everything neat. Tripping hazards are a nuisance and can lead to significant accidents, especially when electrical equipment is involved. Training and Awareness: Knowledge is power—literally, in this case. Conduct regular training sessions and safety drills that include best practices for electrical safety. Every team member should know what to do in electrical emergencies like fires or electrocution. Electrical safety should always be top of mind within your facilities' Safety Plan. It's an ongoing process that requires the participation and vigilance of every one of us. Implement these five practices and create a safer, more efficient work environment. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE! Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors.

In 2011, longtime electrician Brandon Schroeder was involved in an accident on the job that left him severely burned and without the use of his hand. After a long and grueling recovery, Schroeder became a vocal advocate for electrical worker safety and now travels the country to offer his own story as a warning. In honor of Electrical Safety Month, we invited Schroeder on the podcast to discuss his accident, the realities of safety culture on job sites, and what he sees as some of the main challenges to improving safety for workers.
