Up-level your knowledge of the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC®) in this live webinar.

IKE’s in-house NESC expert, Grant Glaus, and structural analysis expert, Malcolm Young, will delve into your questions, provide real-life examples of some of the most confusing and complex facets of the NESC, and offer insight for electric utilities, communications companies, and engineering firms.

During the webinar, you will learn answers to frequently asked questions related to NESC rules, such as:

  • What are the rules for streetlights in the communication worker safety zone?
  • When do I need to exceed the NESC requirements?
  • Why does my sag chart show larger sags than the NESC “worst case” sags for clearances above ground?

This webinar is eligible for PDH or Continuing Education credit. To earn credit, you must attend the live webinar and complete the form we’ll provide at the conclusion.
