Electrical Safety – Certification Training

The “Electrical Safety for Technicians and Supervisors” training introduces participants to the fundamental hazards associated with electrical work and safe practices for their identification, assessment, and control.

The course is based on the OSHA 1910 Subpart S requirements and the electrical safety principles of NFPA 70E and covers risks associated with electric shock, electrical burns, high-voltage work, energized electrical circuits, and the servicing of electrical equipment. The training also addresses Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), isolation, grounding, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI), electrical protective equipment, and safe work practices.
