ELECTRICAL SAFETY

OSHA 1910.331 through .335 contains the “Safety Related Work Practices” for anyone facing a risk of electrical hazard.  OSHA tells you what you have to do, but not how to do it.  The National Fire Protection Association’s standard 70E (NFPA 70E) tells you how to meet and exceed the OSHA requirements.  In this one-day class we will teach you how to get in compliance with OSHA by using NFPA 70E.

Participants will take home our "Hands-On" text and lab manual along with a free "NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace" book (a $45 value) that can be immediately used on the plant floor.  A certificate of completion will be  awarded at the end of the class.
