What 30 Years in the Electrical Trade Taught Jason Brozen About Keeping Workers Safe 

In March 2026, HeatSpring’s Brian Hayden sat down with Jason Brozen at the NABCEP Conference in Milwaukee for a conversation on the Suncast Media stage. Jason is the Safety and Technical Training Manager at Tyndale, a master electrician with 30 years in the industry, and the instructor behind HeatSpring’s 6-Hour NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Training course.

He’s also an arc flash survivor.

In 2009, Jason was involved in an arc flash incident that changed the course of his career. Since then, he’s made it his mission to use that experience to keep other workers safe. His HeatSpring course reflects that mission directly, and the reviews show it’s landing.

Course completers consistently bring up two things: the story and the photos. Jason doesn’t soften either.

Why Jason doesn’t hold back

Brian asked Jason directly: why share the uncomfortable parts of your story? Why not make the class a little easier to sit through?

It’s nice to be able to share my story to save lives. If you don’t use your life experiences to help somebody else on this planet, you’re really missing a good opportunity.

The throughline of what Jason describes is personal responsibility meeting real stakes. Electricity, as he puts it, is an equal opportunity hazard. It doesn’t matter what sector you work in. When he hears about a preventable injury, it genuinely bothers him, because he knows that while you can’t always prevent the accident, you can almost always prevent the injury with the right PPE and the right training.

That’s the philosophy behind his course, and it’s why the class feels different from a typical electrical safety compliance training.

What he wishes would change in solar

Brian also asked Jason about something specific to our audience: when he works with solar companies and technicians, what does he see that concerns him most? 

His answer was quick. Complacency.

A lot of people think DC is not as dangerous as AC. It turns out that DC energy is actually worse, because it’s just constantly on.

The “it’s just solar” mindset is something Jason is actively trying to push back on. The arc flash demonstrations Tyndale has run comparing AC and DC energy make the case better than any slide deck. DC doesn’t pulse the way AC does. It’s continuous, and that changes the severity of an incident significantly.

The growth of the solar industry means more people in the field who may not come from a traditional electrical background, and who may underestimate what they’re working with. Training that takes that complacency seriously should not be optional. It could be the difference between a close call and a life-altering injury.

If your team works in solar or electrical, Jason’s 6-Hour NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Training course is one of the most most compelling ways to make sure they understand what they’re working around.
