Philip Allen, CEO, is Owner and Founder of Grace Engineered Products, Inc., (www.graceport.com) in Davenport, Iowa. A thought-leader and innovator in electrical workplace safety and holds four US Patents on innovative electrical safety products. His passion for innovation helped make permanent electrical safety device (PESDs) and the GracePort® a household name among the industrial electrical community. Served on the Board of Directors or the Association of High Technology Distributors 2015-2017.
For over a decade, thousands of users have deployed Permanent Electrical Safety Devices (PESDs) to reduce the risks in isolating electrical energy. This elegantly simple innovation increases the probability that workers are only exposed to ‘zero voltage’ when doing an absence of voltage test. The cumulative experience end users have amassed by using PESDs encouraged UL to create a new product specification for permanently mounted Absence of Voltage Testers (AVTs).
