 Product Responsibility

As a leading manufacturer of electrical products and tools and hardware, product responsibility is our primary concern. The ultimate purpose of our business is to offer products and services that help to manage electricity, supply power and provide tools and hardware for customers the world over. Cooper’s products enhance virtually every environment in society. Take a closer look at our products and brands to see how our customers rely on the safety, efficiency and reliability of our products.

As a matter of policy and practice, we have long held that all Cooper products must be designed, produced and delivered with the safety of our customers as a primary consideration. We believe that safety must be inherent in everything we do as we design, test, manufacture and deliver Cooper products. To achieve this goal, we stress that each employee must understand and diligently carry out his or her responsibilities as they relate and contribute to the safe use of our products. And we believe that product responsibility goes beyond product safety. To that end, each Cooper operating division has a Product Safety Council, a cross-functional team that reviews and recommends a wide range of product and process improvements, including safety product support, industry education, safety labeling, product ergonomics, ease of installation and use, waste reduction, recycled and recyclable packaging, energy conservation and environmental conservation.

We are committed to designing products that are easy to use, environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. To read about one of these new products, please click here for information on our Envirotemp FR3 fluid, which was profiled in a recent edition of Transmission and Distribution World.

Training
Cooper believes it is important for those who sell and buy the Company’s products to understand how and where they are to be used. Added to this is the need to understand the countless industry and government standards that relate to electrical products, as well as the growing diversity of our customer base and the technical sophistication of today’s electrical systems. This is why Cooper provided more than 100,000 hours of world-class training last year, with classes designed to ensure the appropriate use of our products.

"Cooper offers many different styles of outdoor lighting fixtures that follow guidelines established by the International Dark-Sky Association. These fixtures are designed to stop the adverse environmental impacts of light pollution, while offering effective and efficient nighttime lighting."
