Electrical Safety / NFPA 70E Arc Flash Training – Online Course
Arc Flash Safety Training for Qualified and Unqualified Workers
Arc flash incidents can occur in a fraction of a second and have devastating consequences. When an electrical fault creates an arc flash, temperatures can exceed 35,000°F, causing severe burns, blast injuries, hearing damage, blindness, equipment destruction, and even fatalities. Any employee working on or near energized electrical equipment may be exposed to arc flash hazards.
Our Electrical Safety / NFPA 70E Arc Flash Training course provides workers with the knowledge needed to recognize arc flash hazards, understand the risks associated with electrical work, and follow safe work practices designed to prevent injuries. Participants will learn about arc flash hazard controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), arc-rated clothing requirements, and the responsibilities of employees and employers under OSHA, NIOSH, and NFPA 70E guidelines.
This course helps organizations improve workplace safety, reduce electrical incident risks, and support compliance with industry-recognized electrical safety standards.
