Electrical Safety Courses
Description
Electrical workers must work safely around energized or potentially energized equipment. That is not just an OSHA requirement – it’s common sense. This course teaches electrical workers, from apprentice level and up, the principles of electrical safety needed to plan a job and work it while effectively managing the risks from electric shock and arc flash. Electrical safety concepts are explained in a way which allows workers to understand not only what is required, but how to recognize situations where additional measures may be necessary.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize and understand electrical hazards (shock, arc flash and arc blast)
- Apply OSHA’s electrical safe work practices, as well as selected articles of NFPA 70E
- Select, use and maintain personal protective equipment (PPE) used by electrical workers
- Inspect insulated hand tools and insulating protective equipment
Perform an absence of voltage test - Read and understand arc flash labels
Who Should Attend?
- Electricians, electrical technicians, HVAC technicians, supervisors and engineers who work on or are responsible for those who work on energized or potentially energized equipment and circuits.
- Safety professionals who need an understanding of electrical safety.
Course Duration: 2 Days, 8 a.m.- 4 p.m.

Price Per Student: $900
Description
Managers and supervisors responsible for the people performing electrical tasks are often not qualified electrical workers themselves. It’s not enough to tell workers to be careful. Without an understanding of electrical safety, they could be setting their employees, themselves and their employers up for serious injury, lost time or a fatality and all of the liability that comes with it.
This class enables managers and supervisors to understand and apply what they need to know to ensure their workers are performing electrical tasks safely.
Learning Objectives- Recognize and understand electrical hazards and how to plan for them Apply OSHA’s electrical safe work practices, as well as selected articles of NFPA 70E to your safety program
- Perform shock and arc flash risk management
- Ensure that electrical workers are equipped with the proper PPE
- Understand the requirements for testing and inspection of PPE
- Perform field audits
- First-line supervisors, safety professionals who are responsible for employees who work on or with energized or potentially energized equipment and circuits.

Description
All employees must be trained and qualified regardless of their job. Operators in industrial facilities often perform electrical tasks for which they may not be properly trained or qualified. Not only is this a violation of OSHA regulations, but it’s also careless. Untrained workers may not recognize electrical hazards that can lead to personal injury and equipment damage. This class teaches non-electricians the safety principles and practices they need to operate their equipment safely.
Learning Objectives- Recognize and understand electrical hazards
- Identify situations which may increase the risks associated with operating electrical equipment
- Select, use and maintain required PPE
- Apply safe work practices when operating circuit breakers and disconnecting switches and motor starters
- Understand and apply Lockout/Tagout rules
- Read and understand arc flash warning labels
- Employees who operate electrical devices or equipment but are not trained electricians or electrical technicians. Safety professionals are also encouraged to attend.

Description
Veteran electrical workers aren’t immune from accidents. That is why it’s important for workers to maintain their knowledge and skills throughout their careers. For this reason, both OSHA and the NFPA 70E require periodic refresher training. This course reviews the principles of electrical safety that experienced workers need to plan and work a job while effectively managing the risks from electric shock and arc flash. The training course also covers updates to the 2018 NFPA 70E so that workers stay current on this important industry standard.
Learning Objectives- Identify common accident factors
- Identify electrical hazards and their effects
- Apply OSHA’s electrical safe work practices rules as well as selected articles of NFPA 70E
- Effectively utilize risk management principles to mitigate electrical risks
- Select, use, and maintain electrical PPE
- Read and understand NFPA 70E tables and arc flash labels
- Electricians, electrical technicians, HVAC technicians, supervisors and engineers who work on or are responsible for those who work on energized or potentially energized equipment and circuits. Safety professionals who need to update their understanding of electrical safety should also attend.

Substation and Switchgear Maintenance
Description
Proper maintenance is a requirement in both utility- and privately-owned substations and it is tough to do if you don’t know how. Mis-operation and equipment failure can be caused by both improper operation and poor maintenance practices; the result can be costly failures and excessive downtime. The operation and maintenance practices that will help you maximize the reliability of your substation equipment are drawn from manufacturer’s literature, NETA, IEEE and NFPA-70B recommendations.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the construction and operation of various types of indoor and outdoor substation equipment
- Read and interpret data plate information
- Read and interpret one-line diagrams
- Perform visual and mechanical checks and inspections
- Perform electrical tests commonly used in substations
- Inspect and test ground systems
Who Should Attend?
- Electricians, electrical technicians, supervisors, engineers and managers who operate, maintain or are responsible for the operation and maintenance of medium- and high-voltage substation equipment. Field sales professionals who desire a better understanding of these topics are encouraged to attend.
