We Are Happy To Accept

   

The 2009 NFPA 70E® requires, in Article 110, that electrical workers be trained to select the appropriate voltage detector and shall demonstrate how to use a device to verify the absence of voltage.

You can meet that requirement and learn how to use a multimeter with this seminar. Attendees will receive a certificate showing that the voltage checking device demonstration requirement of the NFPA 70E® has been met!

Each student will be trained on the safe use of digital multimeters and will be required to demonstrate his or her ability to safely use a multimeter to test an electrical circuit for the absence of voltage.

In addition, the electrical fundamentals needed for competent use of digital multimeters will be explained during this seminar along with the differences between AC & DC, volts, amps, and ohms. The meaning of these terms will be covered in the most basic and simplest of terms.

The student will demonstrate to the instructor, as part of a final exam, the ability to safely use a digital multimeter to check for the absence of voltage.

This 2-day safety seminar is an excellent addition to your electrical safety training program.

Course Description: 

This is an electrical seminar that is intended to teach the student how to safely check for the absence of voltage in an electrical panel prior to the commencement of work as set forth in the 2009 edition of the NFPA 70E®.

The basic concepts of electricity, which are required to understand meter usage, multimeter principals, and safety meter use practices are covered. To achieve certification the student will have to demonstrate to the instructor, the ability to safely use a multimeter to check for the absence of voltage.

This seminar is essential for anyone working within the limited approach boundary* of an exposed electrical circuit; energized or not.

* The 2004 edition of the NFPA 70E® specified that employees who work "on or near" exposed live parts must be trained. The 2009 edition has changed that requirement to "working within the limited approach boundary". The 2009 NFPA 70E® must be consulted to determine the limited approach boundary.

Who Should Attend:

Anyone who's work requires that they be within the limited approach boundary* of an exposed electrical circuit.

Equipment Requirements:

Electrical Training USA has Fluke® multimeters available for use in the classroom. It is highly recommended that students bring to class and train on the actual meter they will be using at the workplace. Meters should have a minimum category rating of Class III for industrial work. Non-contact voltage sensors and meters without an IEC category rating are not acceptable. Please contact the seminar instructor if you require a loaner meter. Students will also need safety glasses.

Other recommended seminars:

It is highly recommended that anyone working in the electrical field, no matter what level of experience or training, attend our Electrical Safety for OSHA Compliance seminar which includes coverage of the 2009 edition of the NFPA 70E®.  This seminar provides information about arc flash and how to select the proper PPE.

CPR training is also now required as part of the NFPA 70E® and can be included, as an option, as a part of our Electrical Safety for OSHA Compliance seminar.
