Safe Electrical Work Practices And The 2024 NFPA 70E For Electrical Workers

Electrical workers frequently interact with a variety of electrical equipment and systems, where they face significant risks including arc flash hazards, a dangerous phenomenon known for causing severe burns, intense light, and potentially fatal injuries due to the sudden release of electrical energy through the air. This course addresses the hazards they may be exposed to and how to protect themselves from them.

This course focuses on electrical safety through the lens of the 2024 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E standards for electrical safety compliance. The course defines an electric shock hazard, and an arc flash hazard then details the injuries and damage they can cause and the factors that contribute to the severity of those injuries and damage. Spotlighting the NFPA 70E standard for an electrical worker being qualified, this comprehensive course guides workers toward a full understanding of how to create and verify an electrically safe work condition.

Present this course to ensure electrical workers understand the two main hazards of electricity, the damage and injuries they can cause, and how to prevent them from occurring.
