Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

Content:

1) Working EQ: What knowledge/skills must an electrician obtain to be proficient at his/her job?

2) I believe that the safety regulations are a must to know. Without knowing the safety regulations you cannot work, also if you don't know them then you can not only put your own life in danger but others as well. Loose wires are a huge hazard because if it has a current going through it and someone accidentally touches it, you bet they will get a shock. Safety also applies to wires that are unprotected, they can eventually rip and cause problems for anyone working near them. Overall someone who doesn't know the safety regulations are actually a hazard themselves and they shouldn't be allowed to work until they know the safety regulations.

3) My mentor has been my most important source to answer my EQ

4) My mentor's name is Alfredo Nunez Sr. and he is an Industrial Maintenance Technician/ Electrician. What we do relates to the EQ because we have been looking at how wiring is done, how to tell the difference between hot wires, ground wires, neutral wires, and how to put them in place to get a motor to work. We will also learn how the wiring of a house works and how to get electricity from point A to point B.
