Electrical Safety NFPA 70E

This course is designed to familiarize employees working with and/or around electrical equipment (panels, breakers, cords, wires, etc.) both energized and non-energized, and provide general electrical safety training to identify hazards and mitigate risk. A qualified person (those permitted to work on or near exposed energized parts) is one who has received training in and has demonstrated skills and knowledge in the construction and operation of electric equipment and installations and the hazards involved. Participants will partake in writing a JSA pertaining to work to be done on an electrical panel model, while understanding hazards associated with burns, shock, and arc flash. They will inspect and properly don PPE and demonstrate knowledge of approach boundaries and clearing distances. The practical will be supervised by an instructor and be performed utilizing a non-live electrical panel model, where participants can interact with opening and closing the panel, interact with wires, cords, switches, and breakers, and understand relevant LO/TO procedures.
