NFPA 70E 2015 Electrical Safety

2 Days, 1.6 CEUs

Revised every three years, the NFPA 70E is an OSHA

recommended industry consensus standard for
electrical safety in the workplace. Because OSHA
regulations are generic in nature, this standard
provides practical methods for protecting personnel
from the hazards of electricity in your facility. The
ability to interpret this standard and understand how
to apply the requirements is essential to realizing the
benets of NFPA 70E - fewer electrical accidents,
improved power system reliability, OSHA compliance
and potential discounts on insurance.
This course is designed for any personnel who work
on or around voltages of 50 volts or more, or that are
responsible for safety in the workplace. This course
meets the mandated training requirements of OSHA
1910.332. Students will receive the 2015 edition of
the NFPA 70E and supporting OSHA regulations.
