TPC Trainco
Delivery Method
Seminar
Target Audience
All qualified personnel performing operations or maintenance work, or who have access to electric power GTD installations
Summary
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with the knowledge and understanding of safe electrical work practices and procedures, especially as it relates to power generation, transmission and distribution systems
Description/Agenda
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with the knowledge and
understanding of safe electrical work practices and procedures, especially as it
relates to power generation, transmission and distribution systems. This
training can be used as part of your initial OSHA required electrical safety
training or the course might be used for the OSHA required annual employee
refresher training.
Electric utility work requires special knowledge and skills. OSHA requires
employees working in this area to be trained in the safety-related work
practices, safety procedures, and other personnel safety requirements outlined
in OSHA Requirement 29 CFR 1910.269. The standard covers all electric power GTD
operations, whether owned by a utility or not.
Who should take this course?
All qualified personnel performing operations or maintenance work, or who
have access to electric power GTD installations including those with
responsibility for:
- Inspections
- Switching-connection and disconnection
- General line and equipment maintenance
- Testing and fault location
Including:
- High voltage electricians
- Substation mechanics
- Line foremen
- System operators
- Apprentices
- Linemen
- Anyone else responsible for GTD at your facility or place of work
Course Outline / Agenda
Designed specifically for personnel working with high voltage electrical
lines and equipment, this course starts with general electrical safety
requirements and practices and moves its way towards specific situations when
dealing with overhead lines, substations, underground electrical installations,
and power generators.
As with all safety related concerns, it is the responsibility of the employer
to provide continual reinforcement for their employees by providing ample
opportunities for training and then ensuring that employees actually use the
practices and procedures they have learned. This is most frequently accomplished
through a formal safety program designed by the employer. While this course can
be an important part of your complete safety program, please check with the
appropriate regulatory agencies to make sure your program meets all
requirements.
Together, we can create a better, safer and more efficient maintenance
workforce!
