Electrical Safety for the Qualified Worker - Pittsburgh

Electricians, technicians, maintenance workers, engineers, managers, and safety professionals who need to follow and adhere to industry and government standards to maintain safe electrical work environments.

Become aware of electrical safety hazards and how to properly address them with protective equipment and eliminate them where possible.

This course provides workers exposed to electrical hazards with the knowledge and skill sets for electrical safe work practices and lockout/tagout, shock and arc flash hazard assessments, and job hazard analysis as required by OSHA and NFPA 70E. More important, it provides employees with the skills necessary to maintain a safe work environment and return home safely at the end of their day.

This course provides both traditional classroom instruction and hands-on demonstrations of safe work practices. Skill demonstrations and lab exercises include donning PPE, checking for the absence of voltage, creating and executing a LOTO procedure and ground and establishing an electrically safe work condition. The class ends with practical testing and certification.
