Description
Electrical hazards are the root of countless fatalities and injuries at work. That’s why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) tapped the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to develop complementary standards for electrical workplace safety.
This course will equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills to help keep themselves and others safe in an industrial environment where electrical hazards could exist. It is ideal for any individual who works on or around electrical equipment or for those overseeing these personnel. Completion of this course will establish employees as “Qualified Persons” under OSHA and NFPA standards.

- Certification of Completion provided by CSI Workforce Development & Training.

This course is recommended for all contractors, technicians, inspectors, safety managers, and other professionals involved in electrical work who must meet NFPA 70E requirements.
