Who needs arc flash training?
Arc flash safety training is both the duty of employers and employees when working on energized electrical equipment. This is mandated in OHS legislation by osha and nfpa 70e, due diligence clauses, electrical safety programs, the CSA Z462 standard and various other legislation.
This workplace electrical safety course covers electrical safety and discusses electrical safety topics relating to the following topics:
One workplace electrical incident can cost an organization a huge price in terms of injuries, fines, reputation and workers compensation premiums. Employers and supervisors can face personal liability for an injury in their workplace that could result in fines up to $1,000,000, four years, or more, in jail, or both.
Many workers may not have received arc flash hazard information in their apprenticeship training and many organizations do not meet current workplace electrical safety standards. This certification course identifies what it means to be a “qualified electrical worker” and organizations should be aware that holding a license as a journeyperson may not be enough to qualify.
The importance of developing safe work procedures, training workers, identifying hazards, evaluating risks, planning and documenting safe work is covered.
This electrical safe work practices course provides many benefits of an instructor led course including: electrical safety examples, discussion, demonstrations and hands-on protective personal equipment instruction. This provides much more benefit than watching a video. There is no room for error when working with electrical equipment so why compromise on electrical arc flash safety education?
Note: Employers have the legislated obligation to identify hazards, evaluate the risks, select and implement the appropriate controls. This course helps companies to understand their legal requirements and what due diligence is required to avoid conviction under provincial or federal OHS legislation, or the Criminal Code of Canada.
Learn from our instructor and others in the class
Students will learn real-life examples and have their electrical safety questions answered by a safety professional with years of electrical safety experience in the development and implementation of a z462 safety program.
Class discussion is encouraged and students also have an opportunity to learn from each other. They will understand the hazards of energized electrical work and how the following Top 5 mistakes workers make can lead to a very serious injury, lost production and/or a fatality.
Top 5 mistakes workers make when it comes to electrical safety.
Our electrical safe work practices training course will students avoid these mistakes and help students to recover if they already made these kinds of mistakes.
Top 5 Benefits of Instructor-led Training
Instructor-led arc flash electrical safety classes and case studies have the flexibility to cater to all levels of experience and electrical knowledge. Even non-electrical workers will gain an appreciation for the hazards of electrical work.
Note: Students will demonstrate an understanding of arc flash hazards and PPE protection by passing a proficiency examination at the end of the course and receiving an Arc Flash Certificate of Completion.

NEW ANNEX: Prevention of Shock Injuries from Electrostatic Discharges
Prevention of Shock Injuries from Electrostatic Discharges, describes workplace scenarios, such as high-speed network operations, in which potential for shock injury from electrostatic discharge exists. This Annex identifies methods to prevent, control, and protect personnel from injury.
NEW: DC Safety-related Work Practices
The latest edition of CSA Z462 has considerably more information on safety-related practices relating to work on and around DC systems. A new Shock Protection Boundary Table for DC systems and an arc flash energy calculation method for DC systems have been added. Extensive revisions have been made to deal with safety-related practices for batteries, battery rooms and battery enclosures. Both high value for anyone working on or around DC equipment. This new additional information is essential for working on DC systems.
