Prevent Injuries, Save Lives Reduce OSHA fines Implement NFPA 70E for Electrical Arc Flash Safety. OSHA requires all employees working around 50v or more to be trained in Arc Flash Electrical safety.

This one-day electrical safety training course is designed specifically for those responsible for making decisions regarding employee safety and NFPA 70E regulatory compliance and practices in alignment with OSHA 1910.269 regulations, updated in 2021, and NESC..

This NFPA 70E Electrical Arc Flash Safety Course will provide your employees with the knowledge to make sound decisions and institute safe work practices resulting in a much safer facility.

Students will learn safe work practices and procedures and as a result, be able to recognize dangerous situations and avoid hazards before an incident occurs. They will learn the safe approach distances to exposed electrical conductors and by class end they'll be able to determine the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for any situation or working condition encountered.

Every student will leave this class with a much better understanding of the hazards they encounter every day and a newfound respect for electricity. This in turn will make your facility a safer environment for everyone.

Training is required for employees who face comparable risk of injury due to electric shock or other electrical hazards. The lack of proper training can be costly and result in damage to equipment and your facility. Proper training can reduce the risk of serious injury and even save lives.

This NFPA 70E Arc Flash training course is specially designed for Qualified and Unqualified workers. You will learn what NFPA 70E covers and why everyone is concerned about it. You will learn what options you have when you decide to implement NFPA 70E, and what resource commitments you should anticipate. You will learn from an expert in NFPA 70E who can help answer any questions you may have.

Electricians, Electrical Technicians, Engineers, HVAC Technicians, MachineEquipment Operators, Field Service Technicians, Maintenance Personnel, Stationary Engineers, Building Engineers, ElectricalMaintenance Supervisors, PlantFacility Engineers Supervisors, EHS Personnel, etc. Anyone concerned andor interested in Learning About NFPA 70E Arc Flash Compliance.
