Inadequate electrical installation often resulted in fires. In recent years, the community has begun to recognize that in addition to fire and electrocution, arc-flash and arc-blast hazards also result in injury. The knowledge base about these hazards is expanding but is not yet complete. The community knows that as the distance between an employee and an electrical hazard decreases the degree of exposure increases. Employees must understand that they are exposed to these hazards until an electrically safe work condition has been established.
The ARC Flash & Electrical Safety training course provides front-line electrical workers with the information they need to make safe decisions involving their work practices. From this training, they will receive the proper awareness and training needed in order to develop a personal arc flash safety strategy in the workplace.
The key features of the ARC Flash & Electrical Safety training course are:
- List OSHA electrical safety requirements and design standards
- Explain the NFPA 70E for Electrical Safety Requirements
- Identify electrical work practices and maintenance requirements
