Electrical Safety in the Workplace - Based on NFPA 70E - McCall
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.

The course includes professional classroom theory instruction, participant handouts, final written exam, group activities, field exercises and practical evaluation.
Curriculum covers OSHA regulatory requirements including, identifying types of confined spaces; the specific risks and hazards of confined spaces, and emergency procedures so employee can perform duties assigned. Includes training on attendant, entrant, and entry supervisor duties. Participants will be trained in basic atmospheric testing procedures, general ventilation practices, and common entry procedures. Participants will be familiarized with prevention methods, and the duties and responsibilities of the Competent Person at a confined space entry site.
Confined Space Field Exercise and Practical Evaluation: Course includes construction site training on worker safety while performing confined space entry and non-entry rescue activities. Participants will practice making confined space rescues by simulating rescue operations in which they remove manikins or participants from a confined space.
What is a confined space: A confined space has the following characteristics: Its size and shape allow an employee to enter it, it has limited openings for participants to enter and exit, and it is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
Who Should Attend: Required for employer designated Competent Persons. OSHA requires that there is a Competent Person present whenever workers enter a confined space. All workers who perform confined space work by supervising, entering, or are responsible for attendant non-entry rescue duties are recommended to attend.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Safety Equipment Required: Attending participants are required to bring a Hardhat, Safety Glasses, Work Gloves, Work Boots, Reflective Vest or Jacket and wear proper Work Clothing for participation in the confined space practical exercise.
Confined Space Equipment Recommended (if you can): Participating workgroups are encouraged to bring fall their protection harness, tripod, hoist, or entry system, and calibrated atmospheric monitor, and ventilation equipment for field exercise.
Completion Requirements: Participants are required to be present and actively participate in all learning activities including hands-on exercises and a written exam to receive certification. Employees will receive a certification of completion and a competent person card by actively participating in the course and demonstrating knowledge in the classroom and at the training exercise site.
Learning Aids: Participants should come prepared with a notepad and pen. Guides and handouts will be provided at the start of the course. The presentation and materials are in English (Spanish courses are available upon request).
Course Length: Approximately 8 hours including classroom theory followed by confined space field exercises. We will be covering a great deal of information in a short period of time; your punctuality will be greatly appreciated.

This course provides an overall view of the water and wastewater industry using the hydrological cycle as a comparison. It includes discussion on treatment technologies, storage, distribution and collections. This is a great class to inform boards, councils and the public about the importance of your utility’s responsibilities. The course will be divided into three sections: History of Water Treatment: Part 1
This course addresses when technologies were first discovered and how those technologies are used today. It also discusses whether those technologies can be applied to current treatment requirements. Topics include heat, UV, coagulation and colloidal silver treatments. History of Water Treatment: Part 2
Explore early storage and distribution technologies and how they have led to today’s systems. This course also examines whether those technologies can be applied to current treatment requirements. Topics include pipe types, corrosion control, valve types, tank and storage issues, and more. History of Water Treatment: Part 3
Learn when chemical technologies were first discovered and how those technologies are still applied to today’s treatment requirements. Topics include chlorine and its variations, ozone, fluoride, and chemical feed in general.

This is a review course for operators preparing to take a Level I or II Wastewater Collections exam. This class is based off the ABC material that the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses uses to create its licensing exams. You will receive handouts showing specific topics to study and go through example test questions for each topic. A breakdown of exam topics will be given.
Topics include:
ï§ Equipment operation, evaluation, and maintenance
ï§ Lift station operation and maintenance
ï§ Collection system monitoring, evaluation, and adjustment
ï§ Wastewater operator safety, security, and administrative procedures
ï§ Test taking tips and procedures
Certification Math Review should be taken in conjunction with this course; this class does not include calculations.
Sacramento State training manuals are a sought-after resource for operators preparing for state certification. This training manual was developed to serve the needs of operators in a variety of ways, including: as a self-paced, independent-study distance learning course, and as a textbook in traditional college and university classes (often taught by experienced operators). The goal is to provide you with an understanding of basic operational and maintenance concepts for wastewater collection systems and with an understanding of basic collection systems and with the ability to analyze and solve problems when they occur. â
If desired, the Operation and Maintenance of Wastewater Collection Systems textbooks - Volume 1 and Volume 2 are available for purchase at checkout for $110 each
