Our electrical safety training course covers basic electrical safety and qualified electrical worker requirements. The course will also examine the various electrical safety hazards, including equipment specific to arc flash potential accidents. We will also deal with the issue of how to properly identify and prevent possible arc flash accidents, safe work practices, including lockout/tagout and the proper selection of PPE.
The course also covers the exact safety requirements for the proper maintenance of special kinds of equipment We will also discuss how electrical management should plan and implement an electrical safety program in their own facility that complies with NFPA 70e/CSA Z462 electrical safety wrokplace standards.
Our electrical safety training course is designed to ensure that students are instructed to work within the guidelines of current National (NFPA 70e and CSA Z462), State/Provincial and OSHA safety regulations. Our electrical safety training course will help employees and companies reduce the risk of personal injury and equipment damage due to operator error. The course is also designed to ensure that, under emergency conditions, the proper steps are taken to restore power in an efficient and safe manner.
Understand the hazards of electricity at the power system supply level. Material includes the review of electrical blast, electrocution, short circuits, overloads, ground faults, fires, lifting and pinching injuries.
