Arc Flash and Electrical Safety 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 2007 Arc Flash Protection training forums will focus on existing (NFPA 70e) Arc Flash Stadards and the development and introduction of Canadian standards (CSA Z462) and legislation that is being developed and WILL BE enacted and enforced in Canada. Leading experts on Arc Flash and Arc Blast Hazard Protection and Mitigation will present new content NOT covered in our previous forums and report on recent code revisions from NEC and NFPA, the Canadian Code, Canadian provincial labour laws
In addition to this, we will present an in-depth review of the development of CSA's Z462 Arc Flash standard. CSA Z462 is now being developed by a Canadian technical committee of Arc Flash experts that are writing a standard that will act as the Canadian version of NFPA 70e.
We will also discuss general work principles and will train delegates on how to best develop an effective PPE 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 work practices.
From our "Arc Flash Awareness" tutorial you will:
- Define short circuits and arcs.
- Understand arc flash 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 arc flash 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 issues from work practices to maintenance, special equipment requirements, and installation. In fact, OSHA in the United States already bases its mandates on the comprehensive information in this important Standard. THIS STANDARD FOR PERSONAL WORKER PROTECTION IS BEING ADOPTED IN CANADA (AS CSA Z462) AND IT IS ADVISABLE THAT ALL CANADIAN COMPANIES BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ARC FLASH STANDARDS AND PRACTICES AND COMPLIANT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
Who Should Attend:
Electric utility, industrial, commercial, institutional power professionals, contractors, and others who are involved in hands-on roles or maintenance planning. This includes engineers, supervisors, technicians, in-plant electricians, contractors, and other personnel who work on or near energized equipment and systems.
