NFPA 70e Training is about learning how to reduce your personal risk of injury and how companies can protect their employees from accident, injury and death.

Our NFPA 70e Training focuses on the NFPA 70e arc flash electrical safety standard that addresses arc flash electrical safety requirements for employee workplaces that are necessary for the practical safeguarding of employees in their pursuit of gainful employment.

NFPA published its seventh edition of the “70e Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces” in February 2004.

NFPA 70e contains an introduction, four chapters, 13 annexes and has many significant changes from the sixth edition.

NFPA 70e covers the full range of electrical safety issues, including safety related work practices, maintenance, special equipment requirements and installation. It focuses on protecting people and identifies requirements that are considered necessary to provide a workplace that is free of electrical hazards. OSHA bases its electrical safety mandates, found in Subpart S part 1910 and Subpart K part 1926, on the comprehensive information found in the standard. NFPA 70e is recognized as the tool that illustrates how an employer might comply with these OSHA standards. The relationship between the OSHA regulations and NFPA 70e can be described as OSHA is the “shall” and the “how.”

Our 2008 NFPA 70e Training courses will focus on the existing NFPA 70e Arc Flash Stadard as well as the development and introduction of Canadian Standards Association's upcoming "CSA Z462" and legislation that will be released in 2008. Leading industry experts on Arc Flash Protection and Mitigation will present new content NOT covered in our previous arc flash training courses.

From our NFPA 70e Training tutorial you will:

• Learn how to define short circuits and electrical arcs.
• Understand electrical safety parameters.
• Determine energy released during a short circuit and why you need to be protected.
• Learn techniques for reducing potential explosive 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 NFPA 70e 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.
