The consequences of not purchasing certified products can be unsafe working conditions, legal liability, and increased operational downtimes and costs.

- Purchasing electric motors and generators that meet product safety standards.
- Purchasing electric motors and generators that have been certified.
- Adhering to safety tips when purchasing electrical products online, such as being mindful of “too good to be true” pricing and purchasing from a trusted source.
