Ontario Electrical Safety Code Training - Essentials
Ontario Electrical Safety Code training provides a live online course to master the 2024 OESC amendments, code interpretation, wiring standards, grounding & bonding requirements — equipping contractors and electricians to ensure compliant, safe installations under Ontario’s electrical regulations.
Our 12-Hour (2-Day) Ontario Electrical Safety Code Live Online instructor-led training course will cover all the Ontario amendments made to the 2024 Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
Why Ontario Electrical Safety Code Training Matters
Ontario Electrical Safety Code Training is a comprehensive 12-hour, instructor-led program that teaches electrical professionals how to apply the 2024 Ontario Electrical Safety Code (CSA C22.1:24) and Ontario-specific amendments in real installation environments. Unlike short overview seminars that focus only on the highlights, this course provides practical, step-by-step guidance on interpreting rules, performing calculations, and applying Code requirements across residential, commercial and industrial projects.
The Ontario Electrical Safety Code, Ontario Regulation 164/99, comprises the Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CEC) and specific Ontario Amendments. Development of the Canadian Electrical Code Part I is led by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). It is developed in close consultation with volunteer technical committees and subcommittees reflecting expertise from across Canada, including ESA. After review, the provincial government then adopts the CEC, with additional amendments specific to Ontario.
Participants learn how the 2024 OESC affects conductor sizing, grounding and bonding, overcurrent protection, wiring methods, hazardous locations, life-safety systems and special installations. The course explains new requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment, energy management systems, energy storage systems, outdoor receptacles, GFCI expansion, revised demand load calculations for single dwellings, and updated installation expectations for generators, marinas, pools and temporary systems.
Through clear explanations, worked examples, and real-world scenarios, the training emphasizes how to design, install and maintain compliant electrical systems while reducing ESA deficiencies and inspection delays. The course is ideal for electricians, contractors, estimators, maintenance personnel, engineering staff, project managers and anyone responsible for compliant electrical installations in Ontario.
All participants receive detailed reference materials, supporting documentation, and a Certificate of Completion recognizing 12 hours of accredited training. This course equips professionals with the confidence and practical skills needed to interpret the 2024 OESC accurately, apply the amended rules consistently, and improve safety, reliability and compliance across every project.
Key 2024 Changes Covered
Key 2024 Ontario Electrical Safety Code changes covered in this course include updated requirements for electric vehicle supply equipment, including revised demand load rules for single dwellings and multi-unit residential installations. The course examines new provisions for energy management systems, expanded GFCI protection, updated rules for outdoor receptacles, and revised grounding and bonding requirements. Participants will learn how the 2024 OESC addresses energy storage systems, renewable energy installations, emergency power systems, and standby generation. Additional updates include changes to wiring methods, conductor ampacity tables, temporary installations, pools and marinas, and amended documentation expectations for complex projects. These changes are explained with practical examples to show how they affect real-world electrical installations and inspection outcomes.
