About AB Electrical Safety
AB Electrical Safety is based in British Columbia and serves industrial clients across BC, Yukon, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with live virtual training available across Canada.
Tony Bedford is a Red Seal electrician, former Master Electrician and current Class A FSR, with Electronics Engineering Technologist training and extensive experience in mining, pulp and paper, oil and gas, industrial maintenance, automation, supervision and electrical-safety training.
The focus is practical: helping electrical workers, supervisors and organizations understand hazards, manage risk and apply electrical-safety requirements effectively in the field.
Field Experience Behind the Training
The experience behind AB Electrical Safety spans industrial electrical maintenance, instrumentation and controls, PLC and DCS systems, commissioning, troubleshooting, construction, and supervision.
It includes work in mining, pulp and paper, manufacturing, power generation, and other heavy-industrial environments, from maintaining and troubleshooting equipment in operating plants to commissioning new systems and supervising electrical crews.
That breadth of experience matters in electrical safety training. Standards establish the requirements, but workers have to apply those requirements to real equipment, real production pressures, and real decisions in the field.

A Practical Approach to Electrical Safety
Electrical safety is not achieved simply by knowing what a standard says. It depends on understanding the hazard, assessing the risk, and making the right decisions before the work begins.
AB Electrical Safety training connects the requirements of CSA Z462 and NFPA 70E with the realities of industrial electrical work. That includes establishing an electrically safe work condition, shock and arc-flash risk assessment, appropriate PPE, lockout/tagout, testing for absence of voltage, and the responsibilities of qualified electrical workers.
The objective is practical: give workers and supervisors the knowledge to recognize electrical hazards, understand the controls available to them, and make defensible decisions when conditions in the field do not fit neatly into a classroom example.
