Arc Flash Electrical Safety NFPA 70E with Skills & Certification On-Site Training

A 3-Day "Hands-On" Course Based on the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace - New: Includes Discussions on Changes for 2012!

Course Description/Agenda

PLEASE NOTE: THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THIS SEMINAR ARE IDENTICAL TO AMERICAN TRAINCO's, STANDARD 2-DAY LECTURE SEMINAR. THE ADDITIONAL THIRD DAY OF THIS SEMINAR ADDS PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS, HANDS-ON EXERCISES AND STUDENT DEMONSTRATIONS FOR ATTENDEES REQUIRING MORE IN-DEPTH TRAINING.

"I walked out with an interest in living longer."
Martin Shaw - Project Manager - Salt River Indian Comm.

Purpose of Seminar:

The Electrical Safety and 70E Arc Flash Protection training course is designed to save lives, prevent disabling injuries, and prevent damage to plants, building and equipment.

Based on NFPA 70E, students attending this course will gain an immense respect for the power of electricity. They will learn about personal safety for working on or around electrical systems and equipment, how to use proper materials and procedures for doing electrical work - and the potential consequences for themselves or others if they don't.

Taught as if they were our own employees, students are given practical instruction that they can immediately apply when they go back to their workplace. This course also helps companies' meet their OSHA training obligations as outlined in CFR 1910.331-335.

A third "hands-on" day is added to the class so that students can demonstrate what they have learned by participating in classroom exercises and taking the ATMT (American Trainco Maintenance Technician) Electrical Safety Certification exam.

Whether your employees are machine operators, maintenance personnel or experienced electricians, this course is an absolute "must" for anyone working on or around electrically energized systems and equipment.

Who should take this course?

This seminar is a must for anyone who works on or around any electrically energized equipment at industrial plants, utilities or commercial and private building facilities. From machine operators and janitorial personnel, to maintenance workers and experienced electricians - anyone who comes in contact with electrical equipment must receive Electrical Safety training to be in compliance with the requirements of OSHA standard CFR 1910.331-.335.
