[[html]]ACCORDING TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, electricians generally<br><br>specialize in either construction or maintenance work, although a<br><br>growing number do both. Electricians specializing in construction work<br><br>primarily install wiring systems into new homes, businesses and<br><br>factories, but they also rewire or upgrade existing electrical systems<br><br>as needed. Electricians specializing in maintenance work primarily<br><br>maintain and upgrade existing electrical systems and repair electrical<br><br>equipment.<br><br>When installing electrical systems, electricians work with
<br><br>blueprints that indicate the locations of circuits, outlets, load
<br><br>centers, panel boards and other equipment. Electricians must follow the
<br><br>National Electrical Code and comply with state and local building codes
<br><br>when they install these systems. Regulations vary depending on the
<br><br>setting and require various types of installation procedures.
<br><br>
<br><br>Workplace
<br><br>
<br><br>Electricians work both indoors and out at construction sites, in
<br><br>homes, and in businesses or factories. Work may be strenuous at times
<br><br>and include bending conduit, lifting heavy objects, and standing,
<br><br>stooping and kneeling for long periods of time. Some electricians may
<br><br>have to travel long distances to job sites. Electricians risk injury
<br><br>from electrical shock, falls and cuts; they must follow strict safety
<br><br>procedures to avoid injuries.
<br><br>
<br><br>Educational Requirements
<br><br>
<br><br>Most electricians learn their trade through apprenticeship programs. These programs combine on-the-job training with related
<br><br>classroom instruction. Apprenticeship programs may be sponsored by joint
<br><br>training committees made up of local unions of the International
<br><br>Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and local chapters of the National
<br><br>Electrical Contractors Association; company management committees of
<br><br>individual electrical contracting companies; or local chapters of the
<br><br>Associated Builders and Contractors and the Independent Electrical
<br><br><img src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/c0/da/fc/c0dafc75903950932582dc3f995db851.jpg" width="360" /><br><br>Contractors Association. Because of the comprehensive training received,
<br><br>those who complete apprenticeship programs qualify to do both
<br><br>maintenance and construction work.
<br><br>
<br><br>Earnings<br><br>In May 2004, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational
<br><br>Outlook Handbook reported that the median hourly earnings of
<br><br>electricians were $20.33. The middle 50 percent earned between $15.43
<br><br>and $26.90. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $12.18, and the
<br><br>highest 10 percent earned more than $33.63.
<br><br>
<br><br>Apprentices usually start at between 40 and 50 percent of the rate
<br><br>paid to fully trained electricians, depending on experience. As
<br><br>apprentices become more skilled, they receive periodic pay increases
<br><br>throughout the course of their training. Some electricians are members
<br><br>of unions such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
<br><br>
<br><br>Job Outlook
<br><br>
<br><br>The Occupational Outlook Handbook also states that employment of
<br><br>electricians is expected to increase through the year 2014. As the
<br><br>population and economy grow, more electricians will be needed to install
<br><br>and maintain electrical devices and wiring in homes, factories, offices
<br><br>and other structures. The development of new technologies is expected to
<br><br>continue to stimulate the demand for these highly skilled workers. The
<br><br>use of computers and telecommunications equipment and the increase in
<br><br>automated manufacturing systems will require that more complex wiring
<br><br>systems be installed and maintained.
<br><br>
<br><br>For More Information
<br><br>
<br><br>The National Electrical Contractors Association and the
<br><br>International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers want students, parents
<br><br>and guidance counselors to know about the opportunities available in
<br><br>their field, so they created a special Web site at
<br><br>www.electrifyingcareers.com. Here are other sites to visit for

<br><br>SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT
<br><br>
<br><br>York County School of Technology
<br><br>TECHNICAL TRAINING IN YORK COUNTY, Pennsylvania, began in 1911 when
<br><br>40 students participated in classes offered through the York City School
<br><br>District. By the early 1960s, it became very apparent <a href="http://electrician.sg/lighting">professional services</a> that career and
<br><br>technical education was in demand, and the York County School of
<br><br>Technology (York Tech) began construction on a building that produces
<br><br>some of the brightest and most highly skilled graduates in York County and the nation.
<br><br>
<br><br>York Tech's Electrical Occupations program has been in<br><br>existence for more than 30 years. The four-year program accepts students<br><br>from ninth through 12th grades, and prepares students for future and<br><br>successful careers in the electrical field. Upon graduation the students<br><br>have developed mechanical skills through the use of hand and power<br><br>tools; can analyze and install various types of circuitry; and use and<br><br>understand the National Electrical Code.<br><br>The program offers instruction in the basic phases of the
<br><br>electrical construction field as well as industrial applications. Areas
<br><br>of instruction include electrical safety and basic electrical theory
<br><br>including circuit analysis using Ohm's law. Students study
<br><br>residential wiring, which builds mechanical skills, as well as learning
<br><br>basic circuitry and blueprint reading. Students then move on to
<br><br>commercial wiring and commercial wiring practices, including conduit
<br><br>bending and installation. They study motors and motor maintenance,
<br><br>basics of motor controls using relays, contactors and motor starters.
<br><br>
<br><br>Once students have completed York Tech's Electrical
<br><br>Occupations program and have shown competence in the major areas of
<br><br>study, they are ready to be placed in the co-op program. This program
<br><br>offers them the opportunity for employment by a local contractor, or in
<br><br>another job where their electrical skills will be used.
<br><br>
<br><br>"Most of the students that enroll in Electrical Occupations
<br><br>intend to join the workforce upon graduation," says York Tech
<br><br>Electrical Occupations Instructor Michael Reinaman. "Students who
<br><br>are eligible are placed with contractors their senior year. These jobs
<br><br>give students valuable experience and typically turn into full-time
<br><br>employment upon graduation."
<br><br>
<br><br>York Tech enrolls students from 14 different school districts.
<br><br>Students choose to leave their home schools and come to York Tech for
<br><br>their technical and academic training. The school operates on a
<br><br>"week about" program, with students spending one week in
<br><br>academics and the next week in their chosen career areas.
<br><br>
<br><br>"This class prepares students for the world of work,"
<br><br>says Reinaman. "We hold students to the standards employers would.
<br><br>They are required to dress in professional dress. This includes wearing
<br><br>the shop shirt (tucked in), long work pants, work boots or shoes, safety
<br><br>glasses and a hard hat."
<br><br>
<br><br>Reinaman has 28 years of experience in the electrical construction
<br><br>trades and is in his 11th year teaching the electrical class at York
<br><br>Tech. The success of York Tech's Electrical Occupations program and
<br><br>Reinaman's seasoned instruction may be found in statements from
<br><br>students who chose to attend this premier school.
<br><br>
<br><br>As senior Ryan Rice explains, "At York Tech you get a high
<br><br>school education equivalent to that of your sending school, but that is
<br><br>not all you get. You also will graduate with a well-taught technical
<br><br>trade that will aid you in the real-world workplace."

[[html]]ACCORDING TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, electricians generally<br><br>specialize in either construction or maintenance work, although a<br><br>growing number do both. Electricians specializing in construction work<br><br>primarily install wiring systems into new homes, businesses and<br><br>factories, but they also rewire or upgrade existing electrical systems<br><br>as needed. Electricians specializing in maintenance work primarily<br><br>maintain and upgrade existing electrical systems and repair electrical<br><br>equipment.<br><br>When installing electrical systems, electricians work with
<br><br>blueprints that indicate the locations of circuits, outlets, load
<br><br>centers, panel boards and other equipment. Electricians must follow the
<br><br>National Electrical Code and comply with state and local building codes
<br><br>when they install these systems. Regulations vary depending on the
<br><br>setting and require various types of installation procedures.
<br><br>
<br><br>Workplace
<br><br>
<br><br>Electricians work both indoors and out at construction sites, in
<br><br>homes, and in businesses or factories. Work may be strenuous at times
<br><br>and include bending conduit, lifting heavy objects, and standing,
<br><br>stooping and kneeling for long periods of time. Some electricians may
<br><br>have to travel long distances to job sites. Electricians risk injury
<br><br>from electrical shock, falls and cuts; they must follow strict safety
<br><br>procedures to avoid injuries.
<br><br>
<br><br>Educational Requirements
<br><br>
<br><br>Most electricians learn their trade through apprenticeship programs. These programs combine on-the-job training with related
<br><br>classroom instruction. Apprenticeship programs may be sponsored by joint
<br><br>training committees made up of local unions of the International
<br><br>Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and local chapters of the National
<br><br>Electrical Contractors Association; company management committees of
<br><br>individual electrical contracting companies; or local chapters of the
<br><br>Associated Builders and Contractors and the Independent Electrical
<br><br><img src="https://www.vetfriends.com/militarypics/images/large/1354473-6175th-Security-Poli-Hinds-23752.jpg" width="331" /><br><br>Contractors Association. Because of the comprehensive training received,
<br><br>those who complete apprenticeship programs qualify to do both
<br><br>maintenance and construction work.

<br><br>Outlook Handbook reported that the median hourly earnings of
<br><br>electricians <a href="http://electrician.sg/electrical-services">http://electrician.sg/electrical-services</a> were $20.33. The middle 50 percent earned between $15.43
<br><br>and $26.90. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $12.18, and the
<br><br>highest 10 percent earned more than $33.63.
<br><br>
<br><br>Apprentices usually start at between 40 and 50 percent of the rate
<br><br>paid to fully trained electricians, depending on experience. As
<br><br>apprentices become more skilled, they receive periodic pay increases
<br><br>throughout the course of their training. Some electricians are members
<br><br>of unions such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
<br><br>
<br><br>Job Outlook
<br><br>
<br><br>The Occupational Outlook Handbook also states that employment of
<br><br>electricians is expected to increase through the year 2014. As the
<br><br>population and economy grow, more electricians will be needed to install
<br><br>and maintain electrical devices and wiring in homes, factories, offices
<br><br>and other structures. The development of new technologies is expected to
<br><br>continue to stimulate the demand for these highly skilled workers. The
<br><br>use of computers and telecommunications equipment and the increase in
<br><br>automated manufacturing systems will require that more complex wiring
<br><br>systems be installed and maintained.
<br><br>
<br><br>For More Information
<br><br>
<br><br>The National Electrical Contractors Association and the
<br><br>International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers want students, parents
<br><br>and guidance counselors to know about the opportunities available in
<br><br>their field, so they created a special Web site at
<br><br>www.electrifyingcareers.com. Here are other sites to visit for
<br><br>information about a career as an electrician.

<br><br>SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT
<br><br>
<br><br>York County School of Technology
<br><br>TECHNICAL TRAINING IN YORK COUNTY, Pennsylvania, began in 1911 when
<br><br>40 students participated in classes offered through the York City School
<br><br>District. By the early 1960s, it became very apparent that career and
<br><br>technical education was in demand, and the York County School of
<br><br>Technology (York Tech) began construction on a building that produces
<br><br>some of the brightest and most highly skilled graduates in York County and the nation.
<br><br>
<br><br>York Tech's Electrical Occupations program has been in<br><br>existence for more than 30 years. The four-year program accepts students<br><br>from ninth through 12th grades, and prepares students for future and<br><br>successful careers in the electrical field. Upon graduation the students<br><br>have developed mechanical skills through the use of hand and power<br><br>tools; can analyze and install various types of circuitry; and use and<br><br>understand the National Electrical Code.<br><br>The program offers instruction in the basic phases of the
<br><br>electrical construction field as well as industrial applications. Areas
<br><br>of instruction include electrical safety and basic electrical theory
<br><br>including circuit analysis using Ohm's law. Students study
<br><br>residential wiring, which builds mechanical skills, as well as learning
<br><br>basic circuitry and blueprint reading. Students then move on to
<br><br>commercial wiring and commercial wiring practices, including conduit
<br><br>bending and installation. They study motors and motor maintenance,
<br><br>basics of motor controls using relays, contactors and motor starters.
<br><br>
<br><br>Once students have completed York Tech's Electrical
<br><br>Occupations program and have shown competence in the major areas of
<br><br>study, they are ready to be placed in the co-op program. This program
<br><br>offers them the opportunity for employment by a local contractor, or in
<br><br>another job where their electrical skills will be used.
<br><br>
<br><br>"Most of the students that enroll in Electrical Occupations
<br><br>intend to join the workforce upon graduation," says York Tech
<br><br>Electrical Occupations Instructor Michael Reinaman. "Students who
<br><br>are eligible are placed with contractors their senior year. These jobs
<br><br>give students valuable experience and typically turn into full-time
<br><br>employment upon graduation."
<br><br>
<br><br>York Tech enrolls students from 14 different school districts.
<br><br>Students choose to leave their home schools and come to York Tech for
<br><br>their technical and academic training. The school operates on a
<br><br>"week about" program, with students spending one week in
<br><br>academics and the next week in their chosen career areas.
<br><br>
<br><br>"This class prepares students for the world of work,"
<br><br>says Reinaman. "We hold students to the standards employers would.

[[html]]ACCORDING TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, electricians generally<br><br>specialize in either construction or maintenance work, although a<br><br>growing number do both. Electricians specializing in construction work<br><br>primarily install wiring systems into new homes, businesses and<br><br>factories, but they also rewire or upgrade existing electrical systems<br><br>as needed. Electricians specializing in maintenance work primarily<br><br>maintain and upgrade existing electrical systems and repair electrical<br><br>equipment.<br><br>When installing electrical systems, electricians work with
<br><br>blueprints that indicate the locations of circuits, outlets, load
<br><br>centers, panel boards and other equipment. Electricians must follow the
<br><br>National Electrical Code and comply with state and local building codes
<br><br>when they install these systems. Regulations vary depending on the
<br><br>setting and require various types of installation procedures.
<br><br>
<br><br>Workplace
<br><br>
<br><br>Electricians work both indoors and out at construction sites, in
<br><br>homes, and in businesses or factories. Work may be strenuous at times
<br><br>and include bending conduit, lifting heavy objects, and standing,
<br><br>stooping and kneeling for long periods of time. Some electricians may
<br><br>have to travel long distances to job sites. Electricians risk injury
<br><br>from electrical shock, falls and cuts; they must follow strict safety
<br><br><img src="http://www.potlightexpress.ca/images/splash_p1.jpg" width="367" /><br><br>procedures to avoid injuries.
<br><br>
<br><br><object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CSc5cYppHoo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CSc5cYppHoo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object><br><br>Educational Requirements
<br><br>
<br><br>Most electricians learn their trade through apprenticeship programs. These programs combine on-the-job training with related
<br><br>classroom instruction. Apprenticeship programs may be sponsored by joint
<br><br>training committees made up of local unions of the International
<br><br>Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and local chapters of the National
<br><br>Electrical Contractors Association; company management committees of
<br><br>individual electrical contracting companies; or local chapters of the
<br><br>Associated Builders and Contractors and the Independent Electrical
<br><br>Contractors Association. Because of the comprehensive training received,
<br><br>those who complete apprenticeship programs qualify to do both
<br><br>maintenance and construction work.
<br><br>
<br><br>Earnings<br><br>In May 2004, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational
<br><br>Outlook Handbook reported that the median hourly earnings of
<br><br>electricians were $20.33. The middle 50 percent earned between $15.43
<br><br>and $26.90. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $12.18, and the
<br><br>highest 10 percent earned more than $33.63.
<br><br>
<br><br>Apprentices usually start at between 40 and 50 percent of the rate
<br><br>paid to fully trained electricians, depending on experience. As
<br><br>apprentices become more skilled, they receive periodic pay increases
<br><br>throughout the course of their training. Some electricians are members
<br><br>of unions such <a href="http://www.electricianinsingapore.com/Electrical-Contractor.html">check here</a> as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
<br><br>
<br><br>Job Outlook
<br><br>
<br><br>The Occupational Outlook Handbook also states that employment of
<br><br>electricians is expected to increase through the year 2014. As the
<br><br>population and economy grow, more electricians will be needed to install
<br><br>and maintain electrical devices and wiring in homes, factories, offices
<br><br>and other structures. The development of new technologies is expected to
<br><br>continue to stimulate the demand for these highly skilled workers. The
<br><br>use of computers and telecommunications equipment and the increase in
<br><br>automated manufacturing systems will require that more complex wiring
<br><br>systems be installed and maintained.
<br><br>
<br><br>For More Information
<br><br>
<br><br>The National Electrical Contractors Association and the
<br><br>International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers want students, parents
<br><br>and guidance counselors to know about the opportunities available in
<br><br>their field, so they created a special Web site at
<br><br>www.electrifyingcareers.com. Here are other sites to visit for

<br><br>SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT
<br><br>
<br><br>York County School of Technology
<br><br>TECHNICAL TRAINING IN YORK COUNTY, Pennsylvania, began in 1911 when
<br><br>40 students participated in classes offered through the York City School
<br><br>District. By the early 1960s, it became very apparent that career and
<br><br>technical education was in demand, and the York County School of
<br><br>Technology (York Tech) began construction on a building that produces
<br><br>some of the brightest and most highly skilled graduates in York County and the nation.
<br><br>
<br><br>York Tech's Electrical Occupations program has been in<br><br>existence for more than 30 years. The four-year program accepts students<br><br>from ninth through 12th grades, and prepares students for future and<br><br>successful careers in the electrical field. Upon graduation the students<br><br>have developed mechanical skills through the use of hand and power<br><br>tools; can analyze and install various types of circuitry; and use and<br><br>understand the National Electrical Code.<br><br>The program offers instruction in the basic phases of the
<br><br>electrical construction field as well as industrial applications. Areas
<br><br>of instruction include electrical safety and basic electrical theory
<br><br>including circuit analysis using Ohm's law. Students study
<br><br>residential wiring, which builds mechanical skills, as well as learning
<br><br>basic circuitry and blueprint reading. Students then move on to
<br><br>commercial wiring and commercial wiring practices, including conduit
<br><br>bending and installation. They study motors and motor maintenance,
<br><br>basics of motor controls using relays, contactors and motor starters.
<br><br>
<br><br>Once students have completed York Tech's Electrical
<br><br>Occupations program and have shown competence in the major areas of
<br><br>study, they are ready to be placed in the co-op program. This program
<br><br>offers them the opportunity for employment by a local contractor, or in
<br><br>another job where their electrical skills will be used.
<br><br>
<br><br>"Most of the students that enroll in Electrical Occupations
<br><br>intend to join the workforce upon graduation," says York Tech
<br><br>Electrical Occupations Instructor Michael Reinaman. "Students who
<br><br>are eligible are placed with contractors their senior year. These jobs
<br><br>give students valuable experience and typically turn into full-time
<br><br>employment upon graduation."
<br><br>
<br><br>York Tech enrolls students from 14 different school districts.
<br><br>Students choose to leave their home schools and come to York Tech for
<br><br>their technical and academic training. The school operates on a
<br><br>"week about" program, with students spending one week in
<br><br>academics and the next week in their chosen career areas.
<br><br>
<br><br>"This class prepares students for the world of work,"
<br><br>says Reinaman. "We hold students to the standards employers would.
<br><br>They are required to dress in professional dress. This includes wearing
<br><br>the shop shirt (tucked in), long work pants, work boots or shoes, safety
<br><br>glasses and a hard hat."
<br><br>
<br><br>Reinaman has 28 years of experience in the electrical construction
<br><br>trades and is in his 11th year teaching the electrical class at York
<br><br>Tech. The success of York Tech's Electrical Occupations program and
<br><br>Reinaman's seasoned instruction may be found in statements from
<br><br>students who chose to attend this premier school.
<br><br>
<br><br>As senior Ryan Rice explains, "At York Tech you get a high
<br><br>school education equivalent to that of your sending school, but that is
<br><br>not all you get. You also will graduate with a well-taught technical
<br><br>trade that will aid you in the real-world workplace."

They're Not Dummies, and 5 More Things Electricians Wish You Knew - 19 Aug 2017 01:49
Tags:
[[html]]Lights flickering? Circuit breaker broken? Outlet on the fritz? It's time to call in a pro! Only the most savvy homeowners should consider a DIY approach to electrical issues. The rest of us — and that means pretty much all of us — should make haste to call a licensed electrician. But considering the complexity of most home circuitry, even calling an expert can be an intimidating process.<br><br>But it doesn't have to be. Electricians are people, too! Understand how they think — and the semisecret things they wish all homeowners knew before whipping out the iPhone. So follow these pro-approved tips. Your electrician will thank you. And you'll thank us! (We call this a win-win.)<br><br>1. Bad tempers are not cool<br><br>You don't have to be best buds with your electrician — but a good attitude and friendly questions go a long way toward making both parties more comfortable. Yes, electrical problems suck big-time. But do everything you can to keep your frustration private.<br><br><img src="http://www.electrician2.com/2014nec1/2014_nec_ifchanges/Slide175.PNG" width="312" /><br><br>"We know when the homeowner is irritated," says Sean Dore, the owner of Mr. Electric in Lafayette, LA. "But the worst customers let the problem get the best of them, and treat us like we caused the problem."<br><br>Instead of getting furious about the situation, ask questions. Understanding the root of the issue might help prevent its reoccurrence.<br><br>"Showing interest in learning about the things that could be wrong in the home makes a customer awesome," Dore says.<br><br>2. Kindness — and tips — are never forgotten<br><br>Speaking of making your electrician happy: If workers have gone above and beyond, don't be afraid to show them some love (figuratively speaking, that is).<br><br>Dore says when his electricians receive tips (or baked goods — brownies seem to be a particular electrician fave), "they just adore that! They come back and they brag about it. It's very encouraging for them."<br><br>And while it's certainly not <a href="http://www.electricianinsingapore.com/Electrical-Contractor.html">fault finding</a> mandatory, cash is a great way to show appreciation for a job done well. Tips are generally considered not only acceptable, but also desired.<br><br>A less obvious but no less fantastic form of gratitude: breakfast.<br><br>"I remember — this is crazy, but it's the truth — I got to a job one morning, and the family was getting the kids ready for school," Dore says. "They insisted I sit down and eat breakfast with them. I had biscuits and bacon and eggs. Those kinds of relationships are cool."<br><br>Cool is good. When electricians feel appreciated, they are likely to do their best work. Right?<br><br><object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tMrFvkw5qxA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tMrFvkw5qxA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object><br><br>3. Buying an old home? Call an electrician first<br><br>Old homes present a scary tangle of potential electrical challenges, including faulty wiring, code violations, and broken circuit breakers. Home inspectors can't see inside the walls and may not be trained to spot complex electrical problems. Hiring an electrician early on for a safety inspection prepurchase is the best way to know what kinds of obstacles you face.<br><br>Dore says to keep an eye out for common problems such as knob-and-tube wiring common before the '50s ("a fire hazard, seriously no good," he says) or old-style screw-in fuses, which are expensive and difficult to maintain.<br><br>Another red flag: Two-prong outlets, which might indicate cloth wiring, are another fire hazard. They also generally indicate the home isn't grounded, rendering your surge protectors useless.<br><br>4. Go ahead, pay attention to ratings<br><br>Word of mouth is the best tool for finding a great electrician, but online ratings come close. It's a valid tool to separate out the maestros from the bottom feeders.<br><br>"Look at all their reviews," Dore says. "If it's consistently four or five stars, and a sizable amount of them, they're probably doing pretty well."<br><br>If there are only a handful of ratings — and those are all raves — that could be a bad sign, too.<br><br>"It could have been a mother-in-law," he says.<br><br>Another important consideration: How does the company respond to negative reviews? Do it sound professional, or would you bet the reviewer got a lawsuit notice delivered the next day? Even the best companies have disagreements with their customers, so pay careful attention to their reactions.<br><br>5. They're not your handyman, tech support, HVAC guy, cable company, or shrink<br><br>You might find this surprising (but hopefully not): Electricians deal with electricity, not your appliances, air conditioner, or computer.<br><br>"You'd be surprised at how often we get called out to repair appliances or electronics," Dore says. "Even though electronics and electricians sound the same, it's very different."<br><br>Another common mistake, Dore says, is thinking an electrician can restore power after an outage.<br><br>"We have no ability to do that," he says. "Call the company you're purchasing the electricity from."<br><br>6. They're not dummies<br><br>Electrical work can be expensive. No one wants to pay a ton of money to figure out why their lights are flickering, but unfortunately it's the way the world works. So don't try to haggle because you think you have some kind of upper hand. And don't ever assume the profession is full of dummies.<br><br>"We're sometimes looked at as just 'these dirty tradesman,' but these guys are well-educated and well-trained," Dore says. "People all too often treat them like some grimy guy that's coming to do a simple job."<br><br>The electrical field is always changing, requiring new knowledge and skills.<br><br>"LED technology is blowing people out of the water," Dore says. "Generally, we're always being re-educated, gaining new abilities, and learning new techniques. We put in the time to learn, and that's what people are paying for — coming out, finding the problem, and fixing it. Maybe you could have done it after four days of research, but we did it in 45 minutes. And no one got hurt. That's why you paid us."<br><br>A large bill might be a pain — especially when the solution seems so easy — but be thankful for the expert on your side.[[/html]] - Comments: 0
Electrocution causes star-shaped cataracts on man's eyes - 18 Aug 2017 23:05
Tags:
[[html]]Instead of seeing stars, an electrician who experienced a 14,000-volt electric shock
<br><br>to the left shoulder came away with star-shaped cataracts stamped on both eyes, doctors
<br><br>reported Jan. 23 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
<br><br>
<br><br>A cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens, which is a structure that
<br><br>helps focus light or an image. When the lens is clear, light passes through to
<br><br>the eye's retina — a tissue located at the back of the eye — where the brain
<br><br>processes the image. If the lens is cloudy due to cataracts, the result is
<br><br>blurry vision.<br><br>Cataracts are commonly caused by aging, so common that more
<br><br>than half of Americans have a cataract or undergo surgery to fix them by the
<br><br>time they are 80 years old.<br><br>The male patient, 42, underwent cataract extraction <a href="http://electrician.sg/electrical-services">http://electrician.sg/electrical-services</a> surgery
<br><br>four months after the electric shock, and also <a href="http://electrician.sg">http://electrician.sg</a> had an implant placed in to act
<br><br>like a lens and focus light, what's called in intraocular lens. It improved his vision a bit, but he was still legally blind and could only count fingers out
<br><br>of his left eye. He likely won't fully regain his sight because of damage to
<br><br>the retina and optic nerve, the structure that transmits visual signals from
<br><br>the retina to the brain.<br><br>New York City-based optometrist Dr. Justin Rapp, who had no
<br><br>involvement in the man's case, explained to CBS News the electrical current may
<br><br>have disrupted the chemical balance in the man's blood, which in turn decreased blood
<br><br>flow to the optic nerves and parts of the retina, as evidenced by the whitish
<br><br>cloud structures seen in the bottom half of the above photos.<br><br>This chemical disruption may also have impacted the fluid
<br><br>around the lens, which contributed to the clouding effect, or cataract.<br><br><object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q0oHjWR8Z14&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q0oHjWR8Z14&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object><br><br>Often, cataracts have been known to form snowflake or

<br><br>"This is a shockingly 'perfect' example of an stellate
<br><br>(star-shaped) cataract," he said. "The fact that it goes completely 360 degrees
<br><br>around the outer edge of the lens is definitely remarkable."<br><br> 2014 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.[[/html]] - Comments: 0
