Arc Flash Seminar - Reduce your personal risk of injury by attending our Arc Flash protection training seminar. Our electrical safety training programs are instructed by some of North America's leading experts on Arc Flash and Arc Blast Hazard Protection and Mitigation, will present new content NOT covered in our previous Arc Flash seminar programs and report on recent code revisions from NEC and NFPA, and the Canadian Electrical Code. We teach general electrical safety principles and train electrical professionals on how to best develop an effective electrical safety program. Between these two elements, there will be plenty of examples and exercises for delegates to follow and then take back and apply to their electrical safety work practices.
Our Arc Flash Seminar will teach you how to:
- Define short circuits and electrical arcs.
- Understand arc flash parameters.
- Determine energy released during a short circuit and why you need to be protected.
- Learn techniques for reducing arc flash energy.
- Learn how to protect yourself and those around you from electrical hazards.
- Learn how to select proper personal protective equipment (PPE) for the right environment.
Dangers such as shock, electrocution, and arc blast will always be present on the job, but proper training and safety strategies can minimize the likelihood of injuries and fatalities. NFPA 70E - Electrical Safety in the Workplace - covers the full range of electrical safety issues from work practices to maintenance, special equipment requirements, and installation. In fact, OSHA in the United States already bases its electrical safety mandates on the comprehensive information in this important Standard. THIS
STANDARD FOR ELECTRICAL SAFETY PROTECTION IS BEING CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION IN
CANADA AND IT IS ADVISABLE THAT ALL CANADIAN COMPANIES BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ARC
FLASH STANDARDS AND PRACTICES
Who Should Attend:
Utility, industrial, commercial, institutional electrical professionals, electrical contractors, and others who are involved in hands-on electrical roles or maintenance planning. This includes electrical engineers, electrical technicians, electricians, linemen, supervisors, and other personnel who work on or near energized electrical equipment and systems.

Arc Flash Seminar
This year's Arc Flash Seminar contains new content NOT covered in previous Forums. We will be detailing the basic elements of electrical safety, current and proposed standards, how to prepare for safe electrical work, and a detailed analysis of the NFPA 70E standard for determining arc flash and arc blast hazard and then how to properly protect yourself from such incidents. There will be plenty of examples and exercises for delegates to follow and then take back and apply to their electrical safety work practices.
