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."

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
