The PCIC and electrical safety

The Petroleum and Chemical Industry Committee (PCIC) has evolved into a leadership role in the IAS and the IEEE for industrial electrical safety measures. PCIC has accelerated progress in standards, regulations, product designs, work practices, and perhaps, more importantly, how to eliminate electrical injuries. In developing this article, the authors conducted surveys, reviewed historical documents, and interviewed long-time PCIC members in an attempt to document the evolution and impact, the organization has had on electrical safety. One of the goal of this article is to provide comprehensive bibliography and appendices that may be useful in developing further improvements and contributions to electrical safety.
