Working around exposed live conductors can be dangerous. The instructors at Safex will teach attendees the importance of assessing both shock hazard and arc flash hazards so that they can reduce the likelihood of injury. Understanding arc flash and its potential hazards is critical to assessing risk and making a safe plan for a potentially catastrophic incident. A qualified electrical worker must understand labeling on electrical systems, how to inspect, care for and wear PPE are required practices when working with electricity.

This training will cover safe work practices as outlined in the current National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) 70E Consensus Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements in the Workplace.

COMBO CLASS AVAILABLE

Time To Event

Event Details

Do employees at your company open and/or access electrical cabinets, control panels, disconnect switches or circuit breaker panels? Have they been trained on OSHA requirements and NFPA 70E electrically safe work practices? Did you know that employees who perform lockout tagout and then access the electrical system still need to wear shock and arc flash PPE until they can demonstrate zero energy on the conductors?

At the completion of this training, participants will be to be able to:

  • Describe electrical safety related work practices, including selection and use of PPE, emergency planning, and use of insulated tools;
  • Conduct an arc flash hazard risk assessment;
  • Conduct a shock hazard risk assessment;
  • Conduct a pre-job briefing; and
  • Complete an energized electrical work permit.

NOTE: This training is not intended to train employees to be electricians. The design, means, and methods of electricity will not be covered during the training session. Methods of troubleshooting controls and related equipment will not be covered. This training is intended for safety-related work practices when working with or near exposed energized electrical equipment.
