Training Courses

Bob Ruggles founded EDS, Electrical Diagnostic Surveys LLC, as an electrical contracting firm providing a wide array of electrical, environmental and safety services. Over time, EDS saw the need for increased electrical safety awareness and properly identifying electrical hazards. Due to recognizing this need and through experiencing personal tragedy as well, EDS has evolved to primarily focus on providing the safest workplace possible to clients. EDS does this through providing thorough arc flash analysis and NFPA 70E Training covering proper selection of personal protective equipment and the dangers of arc flash, arc blast and shock hazards.

In 2008 EDS and ESWP Co. teamed up to provide all of your electrical safety needs in one place.  With 51 years of experience between Bob Ruggles and Rick Blevins, owner and founder of ESWP Co., Electrical Safe Work Practices LLC, all of your electrical safety needs can be met with one contact.
