Electrical Safety Training, OSHA, & the NFPA 70E®

Important changes for 2009 electrical safety training include:

  • A new requirement for Fire Rated clothing for Hazard/Risk Category 1 precludes the use of cotton clothing. This change reduces the risks for second-degree thermal burns
  • An expanded Table in Article 130 of the NFPA 70E® covers added tasks such as thermographic imaging, and new equipment including arc-resistant switchgear
  • Newly added Article 350 of the NFPA 70E® provides first-time requirements for the protection of electrical personnel in R&D labs
  • A new exception verifies that 240 V and less power systems fed by a single transformer less than 125 kvs no longer require an arc flash hazard analysis
  • Expanded requirements for multi-employer relationships address potential areas of oversight, and improves contractor communication about electrical hazards
  • New record keeping requirements for training and safety program audits answer OSHA's need for records and ensure data is available when you need it
  • Clarification of the Hazard/Risk evaluation procedure with sample worksheets in the
    NFPA 70E    ®
  • Flow chart from of the NFPA 70E® helps users determine the need for an Energized Electrical Work Permit
  • Additional information to help workers and supervisors evaluate layering of PPE
  • Additional explanation of safe work practices near overhead and underground lines.

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. If your objective is to increase employee awareness of electric shock, arc flash, and arc blast hazards and 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.

 Each attendee will receive a Certificate of Seminar Completion confirming attendance in the electrical safety training seminar.
