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

This one-day training course is designed to assist organizations to identify shock and arc flash hazards and prevent injuries and incidents associated with those hazards.

THIS COURSE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO:

  • Identify electrical safety training requirements for qualified workers
  • Identify best practice Regulations that address shock and arc flash hazards
  • List the steps to perform a shock hazard analysis and describe each step
  • Define the three CSA Z462 shock protection boundaries and describe their use
  • List the personal protective equipment required for shock protection
  • List the steps to achieve an electrically safe work condition
  • List the steps to install and remove temporary protective grounding equipment
  • Explain what an arc flash is and the injuries that can result
  • Identify when an arc flash hazard exists
  • List the steps to perform an arc flash hazard analysis and describe each step
  • Define the term “incident energy,” identify the key electrical system variables that affect it
  • Define the term “arc flash protection boundary” and explain its application
  • Define the term “arc-rated” and explain the difference between “flame-resistant” clothing and “arc rated” clothing
  • Select appropriate personal protective equipment for arc flash hazards
  • Describe the Hazard/Risk Category method of selecting arc flash PPE
  • List the testing and maintenance requirements for personal protective equipment
  • Identify the key objectives of job safety planning
