NFPA 70e Training - Our 6-Hour live online instructor-led arc flash and shock protection course introduces front-line qualified electrical workers to the electrical safety regulations found in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard and explains the relationship between OSHA and NFPA 70E. The course moves through the standard, article by article, highlighting each important point.
Who should take our NFPA 70E training?
NFPA 70E arc flash safety training is essential for anyone exposed to electrical hazards in the workplace. This includes electricians, electrical contractors, maintenance personnel, engineers, supervisors, safety professionals, and anyone who works with or around electrical equipment.
The NFPA 70E standard for electrical safety in the workplace for electrical safe work practices is recognized as an authority worldwide.
The training is essential for qualified electrical workers responsible for installing, repairing, and maintaining electrical systems and equipment. These workers are at a high risk of being exposed to electrical hazards, including arc flash and shock, and must understand the hazards and how to protect themselves and others.
However, NFPA 70E training is for more than just electrical workers. Anyone who works in or around an area where electrical equipment is present should receive training to understand the hazards and how to protect themselves. This includes facility managers, building owners, and even office workers who may need to unplug or reset electrical equipment.
Ultimately, NFPA 70E training is important for anyone who wants to ensure the safety of themselves and others in the workplace. By understanding the hazards and how to protect against them, individuals can prevent accidents and injuries, improve efficiency, and comply with regulations.
Arc Flash Training Benefits
There are many benefits to receiving NFPA 70E arc flash training for individuals and companies with an electrical safety program. Here are some of the key benefits:
Enhanced safety: The primary benefit of NFPA 70E arc flash training is enhanced safety. The training teaches workers how to identify and avoid electrical hazards, including arc flash incidents. By understanding these hazards and how to protect against them, workers can significantly reduce the risk of injury or death.
Compliance with regulations: OSHA requires employers to train employees who may be exposed to electrical hazards in the workplace. NFPA 70E is one of the standards that OSHA references. By providing this training to their employees, companies can ensure they comply with OSHA regulations.
Reduced risk of accidents: By training workers on electrical safety best practices, companies can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace. This not only protects workers but can also help prevent damage to equipment and other property.
Improved efficiency: Workers who have received NFPA 70E arc flash training are better equipped to perform their jobs safely and efficiently. They can identify and avoid hazards more quickly and easily, leading to greater productivity and fewer delays.
Cost savings: Preventing accidents and injuries in the workplace can save companies significant amounts of money in lost productivity, medical expenses, and other costs. Companies can save money in the long run by investing in training to improve safety.
Overall, the benefits of NFPA 70E arc flash training are numerous and significant. By investing in this training, individuals and companies can improve safety, comply with regulations, reduce accidents, improve efficiency, and save money.
Our NFPA 70e Training course will teach you how to:
Dangers such as shock, electrocution, and arc blast will always be present on the job, but proper training and safety strategies can minimize the likelihood of injuries and fatalities. NFPA 70E - Electrical Safety in the Workplace - covers the full range of electrical safety issues from work practices to maintenance, special equipment needed, and installation. In fact, OSHA in the United States already bases its electrical safety mandates on the comprehensive information in this important Standard. Our course comes with an Arc Flash certificate of completion.
Upon completion, you should be able to:
Anyone whose job involves designing, reviewing, evaluating or installing electrical systems, including: designers, installers, engineers, electrical contractors, technicians, project managers, safety managers, inspectors, and others who are involved in hands-on electrical roles or maintenance planning.
