Based on NFPA 70E and designed for maintenance workers.
Based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70 E publication, this class has proven over and over how effective our material really is!
NFPA 70E is the standard is used to make the workplace electrically safe for employees. The training informs the worker of the dangers associated with electricity and ways to reduce the potential for electrical hazards.
The 2012 NFPA 70E Handbook (section 110.2 (A)) States that safety training applies to all employees who face a risk of electrical hazard that is not reduced to a safe level by applicable electrical installation requirements. Such employees should be trained to understand the specific hazards associated with electrical energy.
Even the most seasoned electricians will gain a new appreciation for what dangers lurk inside an electrical enclosure.
Every person who picks up and uses a multi-meter must be trained on how to avoid the hazards associated with electricity.
Nearly 4 people are killed each day from an electrical related work injury…
Learn how to not become a statistic!
This single day class covers:
- Understanding the Hazards involved with Electricity
- What PPE is and how & when to use it!
- How to avoid the hazards!
- Applied NFPA 70E Regulations
- Applied OSHA 1910 Regulations
- Understanding the Basic Laws of Electricity
- Safe Work Practices
- How to read an Arc Flash Warning Label.
- What Risk Hazard Categories mean.
- PPE Maintenance and use
- Safe Troubleshooting Procedures
This class covers the required NFPA and OSHA requirements for Electrical Safety Training. This training should be updated yearly to insure a proper safety program.
OSHA 29 CFR sections covered:
1910.332(a)
Scope. The training requirements contained in this section apply to employees who face a risk of electric shock that is not reduced to a safe level by the electrical installation requirements of 1910.303 through 1910.308.
Note: Employees in occupations listed in Table S-4 face such a risk and are required to be trained. Other employees who also may reasonably be expected to face comparable risk of injury due to electric shock or other electrical hazards must also be trained.
1910.332(b)
Content of training.
1910.332(b)(1)
Practices addressed in this standard. Employees shall be trained in and familiar with the safety-related work practices required by 1910.331 through 1910.335 that pertain to their respective job assignments.
1910.332(b)(2)
Additional requirements for unqualified persons. Employees who are covered by paragraph (a) of this section but who are not qualified persons shall also be trained in and familiar with any electrically related safety practices not specifically addressed by 1910.331 through 1910.335 but which are necessary for their safety.
1910.332(b)(3)
Additional requirements for qualified persons. Qualified persons (i.e. those permitted to work on or near exposed energized parts) shall, at a minimum, be trained in and familiar with the following:
1910.332(b)(3)(i)
The skills and techniques necessary to distinguish exposed live parts from other parts of electric equipment.
1910.332(b)(3)(ii)
The skills and techniques necessary to determine the nominal voltage of exposed live parts, and
1910.332(b)(3)(iii)
The clearance distances specified in 1910.333(c) and the corresponding voltages to which the qualified person will be exposed.
Note 1: For the purposes of 1910.331 through 1910.335, a person must have the training required by paragraph (b)(3) of this section in order to be considered a qualified person.
Note 2: Qualified persons whose work on energized equipment involves either direct contact or contact by means of tools or materials must also have the training needed to meet 1910.333(C)(2).
1910.332(c)
Type of training. The training required by this section shall be of the classroom or on-the-job type. The degree of training provided shall be determined by the risk to the employee.
