About This Course
According to the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), almost 56% of injuries in 2020 were caused by direct exposure to electricity. Injuries and fatalities from electricity are attributed to shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc blast. It is crucial to understand how to best prevent these events from happening. NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety was crafted to educate and protect workers from severe electrical hazards.
This course goes over the relationship between OSHA and NFPA 70E standards, and how to maintain job site safety and prevent harm from a release of electrical energy when working with electricity.
Professionals working in or around electrical environments are required to meet NFPA 70E requirements and complete training. These professions include contractors, electrical engineers, inspectors, HVAC installers, designers, and safety managers.
