Summary
Our essential two-day NFPA 70E/Arc Flash Electrical Safety course is the basis for more advanced electrical safety courses
Description/Agenda
2 day Lecture
1.6 Continuing Education Credits
This course is a subcomponent of:
2012 NFPA 70E/ Arc Flash Electrical Safety with Introduction to Arc Flash Analysis
Our essential two-day NFPA 70E/Arc Flash Electrical
Safety course is the basis for more advanced electrical
safety courses. This course meets the safety training
requirements for employees bound by OSHA rule 29 CFR
1910:331-335. Learn how current NFPA 70E standards apply
to a facility, why safe electrical work practices are
important, and how to ensure your organization meets all
government standards for electrical safety. OSHA’s
mandated training requirements apply to employees who
face a risk of electric shock that is not reduced to a
safe level by the electrical installation requirements
of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.303-308.
This course is a two-day segment within these broader
courses:
NFPA 70E / Arc Flash Electrical Safety with Utilization
of High Voltage and
NFPA 70E / Arc Flash Electrical Safety with Arc Flash
Analysis. We suggest one of these broader courses
for the most comprehensive training.
Electrical safety training empowers workers to
perform their jobs safely. According to the US
Department of Labor, electrocution is one of the main
causes of on-the-job deaths of industrial workers.
Proper training keeps facilities, equipment and
personnel safe from accidents, injuries and fatalities.
