Arc Flash Electrical Safety Training

Arc Flash Electrical Safety Training

THIS 1-DAY – INSTRUCTOR-LED, CERTIFIED ARC FLASH ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAINING COURSE INCORPORATES RECENT REVISIONS TO THE 2018 EDITION OF NFPA-70e and CSA Z-462 ARC FLASH ELECTRICAL SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE STANDARDS

Our Arc Flash Electrical Safety Training course is compliant with the many changes to the latest NFPA 70-e and CSA Z462 Standards.

Arc Flash Electrical Safety Training for Qualified Electrical Workers covers all information required by electrical workers to safely work on apparatus rated higher than 750 volts. It includes all legislative requirements applicable to electrical workers, as well as the NFPA-70e and CSA Z462 (Workplace Electrical Safety) Standards. This course provides technical content and ppe demonstration training for power systems equipment.

All students will be required to complete a competency exam at the end of the course and reach a minimum passing grade of 80%. Certificates of Arc Flash Training will be issued to all students who reach this threshold.

This popular one-day Arc Flash and Shock Training course is designed for front-line workers who are responsible for electrical systems and needing certification in the NFPA-70e/CSA Z462 electrical safety standard. This standard covers safe work practices related to electrical dangers in the workplace. Students will gain a solid understanding of hazards encountered while operating or maintaining electrical installations in the low voltage (below 750V) class including a full understanding of the arc hazard categorization, appropriate PPE selection and safe electrical work procedures.

This one-day Instructor-led Arc Flash and Shock Training course is much more educational experience than taking an online training course or watching an online video!!
