Ontario Electrical Safety Code Compliance Training

Our Ontario Electrical Safety Code Compliance Training course will cover all the Ontario amendments made to the 2018 Ontario Electrical Safety Code, adopted recently in 2019. In fact, the course is intended to do a lot more than instruct about what changes have taken place since the last Ontario Ele

The 2018 edition of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code –which includes the Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 plus several Ontario-specific amendments – reflects changes in technology and the marketplace, and incorporates feedback from stakeholders, technical reviews and new safety insights. The new edition includes changes designed to enhance electrical safety and protect workers and the public including:

• Re-write of Section 10 requirements for bonding and grounding have been reorganized and reduced in size with some changes that will improve safety and simplify the installations;
• Expanding the use of Tamper-resistant receptacles in educational facilities and hotels/motels;
• Requirements for installing an identified (neutral) conductor at each control (switch) location of permanently installed luminaire;
• Alignment with the Ontario Building Code to prevent the installation of high-voltage conductors over buildings;
• Providing of adequate working space for electrical workers to undertake necessary repairs, maintenance and installation of transformers greater than 50kVA;
• Prohibiting of installation of cables in concealed locations in corrugated roof decking
• Adding requirements for Energy Storage systems; and
• Facilitating the use of Power over Ethernet to provide a pathway for sources of electricity.

This course, conducted by one of Canada’s leading experts on the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, will help electrical professionals on the effective application through an improved understanding of the intent of the rules. Also, our course will instruct electrical professionals on how to access and navigate through the Ontario Electrical Safety Code in a cost-efficient manner. The Canadian Electrical Code is the basis for all provincial and territorial electrical codes in Canada, including the 2018 Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Most provinces adopt the code, without changes, while other provinces, like Ontario, add their own amendments. In the specific case of Ontario, there are many amendments that you need to know.

Designed and delivered by Jason Cappis, one of Canada’s leading experts on OESC and CECode interpretation, the course will instruct not only on the latest code changes, but how to understand what the rules are and how to access the code with ease. Some people spend endless time searching for the rules that they need. This course will teach what you need to know, quickly and accurately. Our instructor will demonstrate how to find the answers you need in a few easy steps.

You won’t want to miss this learning opportunity!!

It's a Proven Fact:
Electrical Engineering, Design, Maintenance and Construction professionals who understand the most current CEC requirements will:

• Work more safely and provide a greater degree of electrical protection for electrical systems
• Work more productively. Make more money, save their clients' money
• Prevent system incompatibilities from holding up a job
• Experience a higher rate of passing electrical inspection

This interactive 2-Day Course will instruct industrial, commercial and institutional electrical professionals and electrical professionals on:

1. Understanding the most recent changes to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and individual provincial ammendments.

2. Code Interpretation: How to most effectively interpret the Ontario Electrical Safety Code in order to properly comply.

3. How to navigate and access the Ontario Electrical Safety Code Rules accurately and time-effectively.

This course is designed to be an interactive, problem-solving, learning environment for delegates of all disciplines.

The positive outcome of this training is to improve the quality of installations and to pass electrical inspection with fewer deficiencies. It means working more efficiently and productively, saving time, energy, and money.
