Are You Trained to CSA Z462??

Our CSA Z462 Basic Arc Flash Awareness course provides front-line electrical workers with the information they need to make safe decisions involving their work practices. From this training, they will receive the proper awareness and training needed in order to develop a personal arc flash safety strategy in the workplace.

Our course is instructed by our certified electrical experts with more than 25 years field electrical safety experience and credentials as professional instructors. This electrical safety course examines the hazards found in the workplace and stresses the importance of the individual employee proactively recognizing hazards and applying safe work practices with the goal of zero accidents.

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."

Our one-day CSA Z462 course is designed for front-line workers who are responsible for electrical systems and needing certification in the CSA Z462 electrical safety standard which has come into effect in 2009. This standard covers safe work practices related to electrical dangers in the workplace. The successful participant will gain a solid understanding of hazards encountered while operating or maintaining electrical installations in the low voltage (below 750V) class including a full understanding of the arc hazard categorization, appropriate PPE selection and safe work procedure.

Who Should Attend: Engineers, Electricians, Instrumentation Mechanics, Technicians, Managers & Safety Professionals
