Course Description
In this Understanding NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Programs in Industrial Environments course, you'll learn how to recognize electrical hazards and apply the NFPA 70E standard in industrial environments. We'll also examine how to build an electrical safety program and establish an electrically safe work condition. These practices are critical for preventing serious injuries each year. With these foundations in place, we'll move deeper into the requirements that shape a compliant electrical safety program.
We'll examine what the NFPA 70E standard contains, outlining the role of the qualified person and the chapters that define safe work practices. You'll gain the ability to recognize the electrical hazards present in your work area and to follow the risk assessment hierarchy that controls them. We'll also cover lockout and tagout procedures, the steps for verifying an electrically safe work condition, and the Live-Dead-Live test to give you a complete understanding of electrical safety in industrial settings. By the end, you'll be able to identify electrical risks and comply with the requirements that keep your facility safe.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify electrical hazards present in industrial work areas
• Explain the purpose and scope of NFPA 70E
• Apply the risk assessment hierarchy to control hazards
• Establish an electrically safe work condition before work
• Evaluate an electrical safety program for compliance
