Lake Forest, Illinois, April, 2005 –– Announced today by Associated Research, Inc. is the expansion of their educational training seminars. For the last several years these regional seminars have been half day programs. Responding to requests for coverage of more applications Associated Research has decided to expand these seminars to a full day training program. With these seminars, Associated Research will provide a comprehensive overview on electrical safety testing, including common shock hazards, commonly performed tests, how to correctly set up a work station and how to ensure that an operator is properly trained. With their increased scope the regional seminars add further analysis of real life applications, more demonstrations of the test equipment found in the field, and actual examples of workstations. The seminars provide the most in-depth training available on electrical safety testing and are applicable to anyone who is involved in electrical safety testing at any level.

Associated Research is also now offering free web based seminars throughout the year. These new “Webinars” will provide detailed and focused information on a variety of issues concerning electrical safety testing including a comprehensive look at individual electrical safety tests such as the hipot test and the ground bond test. They will also thoroughly discuss how to ensure that an operator is properly trained, a test station is properly set up, and that tests are being performed in a safe manner.

Both the seminar and webinar programs will be presented by Dwayne Davis, Technical Services Manager, who has over 35 years of experience with high voltage products. For more information on these programs please visit their website at www.asresearch.com.
