Course Summary:
This 8-hour class will provide participants with live instruction on worker safety requirements of the OSHA, NFPA 70, and NFPA 70E standards. Participants will learn about the seriousness of electrical injuries, as evidenced by data from the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. The four main types of electrical hazards will be identified and discussed. A brief review of electricity’s properties will also be included.
Throughout the class, the NFPA 70E standard’s key elements will be presented, including definitions, responsibilities, training requirements, job hazard analysis, hierarchy of risk control, electrical safe work practices, lockout/tagout, and PPE requirements. Participants will be encouraged to actively engage in a job hazard analysis of a task they select.
Additionally, four case studies of fatal electrical accidents will be presented and discussed to illustrate the importance of hazard recognition and control. The class will also feature several videos demonstrating the explosive release of energy during arc flash events, further emphasizing the critical nature of electrical safety.
