| Overview
This 8-hour course covers the standard for protection from arcing
faults, NFPA 70E. These faults can result in serious injury or death to
electrical workers. Ensuring worker safety and meeting the challenges of the
new arc flash safety requirements can be a difficult task without assistance
from resources familiar with industry standards and recommended practices.
The proper use of safety equipment, knowledge of electrical hazards, and
knowledge of how to respond in the event of an electrical disaster are
absolutely essential for all electrical personnel or those working on or
around electrical equipment. This electrical safety program is designed to
explain the principles of arc flash protection, avoiding unsafe acts,
working safely, and understanding codes and standards relating to the
industry. The latest technology, standards, and materials available are
presented and demonstrated. Students will know:
- how to select proper PPE based on arc/flash
- how incident energy calculations are made
- correct labeling procedures
- how to interpret NFPA 70E requirements
