Why This Course Matters
Our NFPA 70E Arc Flash Training course is designed to help companies fulfill the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910, Subpart S, Electrical, and NFPA 70E® “Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace,” which requires this type of instructor-led training for anyone working with electrically energized equipment. This course includes changes in the latest version of NFPA 70E.
NFPA 70E Training
High Voltage Electrical Safety Training
This course is instructed by one of North America's leading experts on Arc Flash and Arc Blast Hazard Protection and Mitigation. He will present new content NOT covered in our previous Arc Flash training courses and report on recent code revisions from NEC and NFPA. We teach general electrical safety principles and train electrical professionals to develop effective electrical safety programs. Between these two elements, there will be plenty of examples and exercises for delegates to follow and then take back and apply to their electrical safety work practices.
Our NFPA 70e Arc Flash Training course will teach you how to:
-
Define Short Circuits And Electrical Arcs.
-
Understand Arc Flash Parameters.
-
Determine Energy Released During A Short Circuit And Why You Need To Be Protected.
-
Learn Techniques For Reducing Arc Flash Energy.
-
Learn How To Protect Yourself And Those Around You From Electrical Hazards.
-
Learn How To Select Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) For The Right Environment.
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 requirements, and installation. In fact, OSHA in the United States already bases its electrical safety mandates on the comprehensive information in this important Standard.
High Voltage Safety Training
This 6-Hour (one-day) live online instructor-led course is designed for electrical maintenance personnel responsible for Medium Voltage/High Voltage electrical systems, and supervisory and health and safety professionals who oversee high-voltage electrical work.
Dynamic and highly concentrated, this High Voltage Safety Training course emphasizes safety when working on or near energized electrical equipment.
Students will learn the damage electricity can cause to the human body and understand the basic principles of safety in normal and abnormal conditions. They will also learn how to assist in determining the severity of potential exposure to Medium Voltage/High Voltage arc-flash hazards, plan safe work practices, and select appropriate personal protective equipment.
During this High Voltage Safety Training course, you will learn to recognize and avoid electric shock in unsafe work areas. You will also learn the correct approach distances. Upon completion, you will have a better understanding of properly voltage-rated tools and the use of proper personal protection equipment. By educating workers on issues central to the safe performance of their everyday jobs, you can reduce or eliminate workplace fatalities and serious injuries. Your safety and your coworkers' depend on it!
