Event Description
Electrical Safety in the Workplace - Based on NFPA 70E - Coeur d'Alene
Please note: This training is offered by Industry Training Associates and is partially supported by the Idaho Workforce Development Council as part of an Industry Sector Grant. As a requirement of this grant, participants will be asked to provide a Social Security number to the State of Idaho as a participant identifier. This will be asked for at the time of training.
Thousands of people are injured every year in incidents involving electricity. OSHA mandates that employers provide training to each employee to allow them to work safely around electrical hazards. This course will equip participants with knowledge and practical skills to help keep themselves and those around them safe in any environment where electrical hazards could exist.
This course will introduce NFPA 70E, an OSHA accepted standard, often referred to as “arc flash training” to ensure workplace electrical safety. Participants will learn the theoretical aspects of electrical safety and will have opportunities to demonstrate and practice these critical skills. They will learn to identify when additional training or instruction may be necessary for the safety of themselves or coworkers. This course will help establish employees as “qualified persons” under OSHA and NFPA standards. It will also help create and maintain a culture of safety in the workplace.
This hands-on approach to electrical safety is ideal for any individual who works around electrical equipment or for those who oversee these personnel.
Topics Covered Include:
• Electrical hazards and how to identify them
• Effects of electricity on the body and mechanism of injury
• Relationship between various standards, regulations and oversight agencies
• Employer and employee responsibilities
• Approach and protection boundaries
• Electrically safe work conditions
• Energized work permitting
• Energy control procedures and equipment
• PPE selection, testing and application
• Test equipment selection and application
• Basic first aid and incident response for electrical incidents.
Instructor: Aaron Ball, Industry Training Associates
