| Seminar
Information: |
| In
the event of an electrical accident, one of the first questions
asked to you by OSHA will most likely be: "Did you
provide electrical safety training with hazard awareness?" You
want to be able to answer: "Yes we did."
This seminar is designed
to provide your employees and contractors with the hazard awareness
and electrical safety training as required by OSHA and will increase employee awareness of electric
shock,
arc
flash, and arc
blast hazards. If your
objective is to bring your training program into
compliance
with OSHA
mandated
electrical
training
while providing your employees with necessary electrical
safety hazard awareness and accident avoidance, then this
is the seminar
for you.
This onsite electrical
safety seminar with arc
flash training includes identifying
and avoiding electrical hazards and choosing
the proper personal
protective
equipment
(PPE).
This seminar will be presented by an Authorized OSHA
Outreach Trainer.
Material is presented using a mix of entertaining videos and informative lecture. Attendee involvement and discussion are encouraged throughout the seminar.
The seminar concludes with a simple open-book test which demonstrates the attendees understanding of electrical hazards and PPE selection.
Morning and afternoon sign-in sheets will be provided. Each
attendee will receive a Certificate of Seminar Completion confirming attendance in the electrical safety training
seminar.
The seminar usually takes 5 to 6 hours to adequately cover all of the required information.

| Optional Extra Day of Electrical Theory Review: |
You may want to ask us about adding an extra day with Electrical Theory and Review as the first day (making this a 2-day electrical safety seminar).
As a bonus, the extra day will include hands-on meter training to comply with the 2009 edition of the NFPA 70E® code. Attendees will receive hands-on training and then demonstrate to the instructor, with hands-on exercises, their ability to choose the correct meter for a task and safely use that meter to check, using an actual test circuit, for the absence of voltage. This is now required by NFPA 70E® code.
The attendees will receive a Certificate of Meter Training and Demonstration of Safe Meter Use in addition to the Certificate of Electrical Safety Training which is included with the 1-day seminar.

| Notes
on Electrical Safety and OSHA: |
OSHA
evaluates compliance with its electrical safety regulations,
OSHA
1910 Subpart S and OSHA
1926 Subpart K, using the comprehensive information in NFPA 70E® .
OSHA
bases its electrical safety mandates on the NFPA 70E®.
While OSHA requires you to avoid electrical dangers, this
seminar,
with information provided by the NFPA 70E®,
tells you how.
If you have an electrical
accident OSHA will take the position that you have violated
one or more of their rules or regulations. The purpose of their
investigation will be to determine which rules you violated
and how much your fine will be. While absolutely no one can
guarantee that your employer complies with all OSHA
rules
and regulations the consensus is that by providing
employees with the information
contained
in the
NFPA
70E® and
by utilizing the information found in NFPA 70E® you
have taken important steps, as viewed by OSHA, towards providing
employees with a
safer workplace. |
