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:
