Purpose of Seminar:
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with the knowledge and understanding
of safe electrical work practices and procedures, especially as it relates to power generation,
transmission and distribution systems. This training can be used as part of your initial
OSHA required electrical safety training or the course might be used for the OSHA required
annual employee refresher training.
Electric utility work requires special knowledge and skills. OSHA requires employees working
in this area to be trained in the safety-related work practices, safety procedures, and other
personnel safety requirements outlined in OSHA Requirement 29 CFR 1910.269. The standard
covers all electric power GTD operations, whether owned by a utility or not.
Who should take this course?
All qualified personnel performing operations or maintenance work, or who have access to
electric power GTD installations including those with responsibility for:
- Inspections
- Switching-connection and disconnection
- General line and equipment maintenance
- Testing and fault location
Including:
- High voltage electricians
- Substation mechanics
- Line foremen
- System operators
- Apprentices
- Linemen
- Anyone else responsible for GTD at your facility or place of work
Course Outline / Agenda
Designed specifically for personnel working with high voltage electrical lines and equipment,
this course starts with general electrical safety requirements and practices and moves its way
towards specific situations when dealing with overhead lines, substations, underground electrical
installations, and power generators.
As with all safety related concerns, it is the responsibility of the employer to provide continual
reinforcement for their employees by providing ample opportunities for training and then ensuring
that employees actually use the practices and procedures they have learned. This is most frequently
accomplished through a formal safety program designed by the employer. While this course can be an
important part of your complete safety program, please check with the appropriate regulatory agencies
to make sure your program meets all requirements.
Together, we can create a better, safer and more efficient maintenance workforce!
