This seminar, Industrial High Voltage Electrical Safety, can be combined with NFPA 70E Electrical Safety to best meet your organization's training needs.
The importance of Electrical Safety training for both new employees and as a refresher for seasoned veterans, cannot be overstated. According to the US Department of Labor, electrocution is one of the main causes of on-the-job deaths of industrial workers. Within this group, skilled trades personnel – electricians in particular – are 2 times more likely to be seriously injured or killed than non-skilled trades.
With a seven-fold increase in OSHA’s penalty structure for violations, and a much greater emphasis on willful and multiple violations of one standard, organizations cannot afford to be out of compliance. OSHA’s mandated training requirements under 29 CFR 1910.332 requires that employees who “...face a risk of electrical shock that is not reduced by electrical installation requirements...” must receive electrical safety training. This training includes work practices for qualified and unqualified persons.
In addition to NFPA 70E training, the Industrial High Voltage Electrical Safety is a hands-on demonstration and training seminar. This seminar demonstrates accepted hands-on work practices associated with using tools and equipment and then allows students to practice them in the classroom. Incorporating a portable 480 volt, cubical style breaker and working assembly, this class will allow participants to demonstrate their skills and techniques in working with live line tools, such as 4 and 8 foot shotguns and non-contact voltage sensing devices. The tasks will be demonstrated, then each student will try on a 40cal/cm2 Arc Flash suit with head covering and Class 2 voltage rated gloves to demonstrate their skill.
Additional training includes inspecting, sizing, and installing grounding jumpers and multi head clusters. A shotgun and 40 Cal/cm2 suit is used to perform these tasks. Other tasks will include establishing approach boundaries, testing for the presence and absence of voltage, applying lockout/tagout devices, voltage rated glove inspection, testing, dexterity of tools and small parts, and implementation of an energized electrical work permit.
