Purpose of Seminar:
“Arc Flash Analysis”, “NFPA 70E”, “Qualified Electrical Worker”, “PPE”, “CFR 1910.331-335”,
“Approach Distances”, “Hot Work Rules”.
What do these all mean? How do they all relate to safety at your facility?
If you are responsible for other people in your organization and not sure of these terms, or
if you just need to be brought up to date with the latest requirements involving these terms,
then this course is for you.
Attendees in this 1-day seminar will learn what it takes to create and manage a high quality
electrical safety program in their building or facility, as well as gaining an immense respect
for the power of electricity. And you will gain immense respect from your employees as well!
(Who wouldn’t respect you if you insisted on the safety of your employees as your first priority?)
This course will help simplify the growing relationship between OSHA and the NFPA, and will
help you outline a process to insure your company or institution is in compliance with the
latest standards. Participants in this class will learn what types of electrical hazards
their employees are exposed to, and what they can do to properly protect them and insure a
safe working environment.
Following OSHA and NFPA rules is no longer considered just another burdensome requirement.
Today, leading companies take it as a serious and practical obligation. More and more
employers are proactively upgrading electrical safety in their facilities because it makes
for a stronger, safer, and more efficient organization.
This course is designed to teach you how to save lives, prevent disabling injuries, and
prevent damage to your plants, building and equipment.
