Arc flash safety training begins and ends with the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. NFPA 70E This is a standard that is rapidly changing the electrical safety culture in Canada and is the basis of CSA-Z462: Canada's new Arc Flash Safety Standard.

CSA-Z462 has been developed in parallel with the 2009 Edition of NFPA 70E for Canadian workplaces.

This Arc flash safety training course is best suited for those electrical professionals who require a general overview of NFPA 70E and it's many requirements impacting on personal protective equipment. Our arc flash safety training will cover the scope of CSA-Z462 Arc Flash Standard, which is Canada's version of NFPA70E.

CSA Z462 Is Here!!

Canadian electrical workers are exposed to many daily hazards in the course of their work. Even so, until now there have been very few Canadian (i.e. Federal or Provincial) guidelines, Standards or Acts published to assist employers and employees to more effectively manage the electrical safety hazards or even to determine who is qualified to perform electrical work.

For this reason, CSA has launched CSA Z462 - "Electrical Safety in the Workplace", the long-awaited Canadian National voluntary Standard on electrical safety work practices for certain sectors.

We offer an in-depth review of Canada's new Arc Flash/Electrical Safety Standard with a series of one-day cross-Canada CSA Z462 arc flash awareness courses.

CSA Z462 sets a new standard for Electrical Safety Training in Canada. It states that electrical workers "shall be trained in safety-related work practices and procedural requirements as necessary to provide protection from the electrical hazards associated with their respective jobs or task assignments. Workers shall be trained to identify and understand the relationship between electrical hazards and possible injury."

What's New In CSA Z462??
