The Electrical Safety in the Workplace presentation was originally presented at the International Association of Electrical Inspectors. It addresses the following:
Reuse, reconditioning, and remanufacturing use a fraction of the energy of new production, keep millions of tons of waste from landfills every year, reduce raw material consumption, and create 3 to 5 times more skilled jobs than automated production lines.
The world is overlooking a simple answer to many of our global economic, socio-political, and environmen- tal concerns: Reuse it, stupid.
