NFPA 70E 2015 Electrical Safety2 Days, 1.6 CEUsTRAINING INSTITUTE

Revised every three years, the NFPA 70E is an OSHA recommended industry consensus standard for electrical safety in the workplace. Because OSHA regulations are generic in nature, this standard provides practical methods for protecting personnel from the hazards of electricity in your facility. The ability to interpret this standard and understand how to apply the requirements is essential to realizing the benefits of NFPA 70E - fewer electrical accidents, improved power system reliability, OSHA compliance and potential discounts on insurance.

This course is designed for any personnel who work on or around voltages of 50 volts or more, or that are responsible for safety in the workplace. This course meets the mandated training requirements of OSHA 1910.332. Students will receive the 2015 edition of the NFPA 70E and supporting OSHA regulations.

Learning Objectives:Upon completion the student will be qualified to:

Interpret and use the NFPA 70E standardIdentify the factors that contribute to electrical accidentsExplain the hazards of electricity and its effectsEstablish electrically safe work conditions (lockout/tagout)Identify shock and arc flash protection boundariesUse personal protective equipment (PPE) for low- and high-voltage tasksSelect safe work practices for low- and high-voltage tasksExplain contractor and employer (host) compliance responsibilities
