Electrical Safety / NFPA 70E Training for Construction – Online Course
OSHA & NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Training for Construction Workers
Electricity is an essential part of every construction project, powering tools, equipment, temporary power systems, and jobsite operations. However, electrical hazards remain one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities in the construction industry. Contact with energized equipment, damaged cords, exposed wiring, and overhead power lines can result in electrical shock, burns, arc flash incidents, falls, and electrocution.
Our Electrical Safety / NFPA 70E Training for Construction course provides workers with the knowledge needed to recognize electrical hazards, understand how electricity works, and follow safe work practices on construction sites. Participants will learn how to identify common electrical risks, understand the purpose of electrical safety devices, and implement hazard control measures to reduce the likelihood of electrical incidents.
This online course helps employers improve jobsite safety, support OSHA and NFPA 70E compliance efforts, and create a safer working environment for construction personnel.
Training is available in both English and Spanish.
