Electrical Hazards Analysis 4.5 days - 3.6 CEUs - Onsite Learning Objectives
•Define and describe the hazards of electricity
•Perform calculations necessary to evaluate hazard magnitudes
•Determine PPE and operational techniques for mitigating hazards
•Demonstrate these skills through in-class exercises
•Identify electrical safe-work practices in NFPA 70E
•Identify the content of an "Electrical Safe-Work Program"
This course is designed to familarize electrical workers, and those responsible for their safety, with techniques for identifying, assessing and controlling electrical hazards in the work place. The course will emphasize the arc-flash hazards - a poorly understood and often ignored aspect of electrical work. Analytical methods for evaluating the nature and severity of electrical hazards, practical methods for protecting employees from the hazards, along with personal protective equipment (PPE) and regulatory requirements will be covered.
The class includes the fundamental steps for the development of an electrical safety-work program and the NFPA 70E requirements for electrical safety-related work practices which includes the "Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis". This information-packed course is a must for all electrical personnel working around 50 volts or more, including maintenance, supervisors, engineers, constrution, inpsections, and safety. Participants will receive a copy of the NFPA 70E along with the student text. Who Should Attend
Electrical/maintenance supervisors, engineers, lineman, electricians, and safety managers responsible for developing and utilizing safe electrical work practices. Personnel required to work on or near energized electrical equipment. Requirements
Working knowledge of electricity and fundamental math skills.
