Qualified Electrical Worker Training

OSHA mandates that any employee working on or near energized circuits greater than 50 volts must be “qualified.” To meet this requirement, employees must, through proper training, demonstrate familiarity with precautionary techniques, personal protective equipment (PPE), and electrical tools and materials. This ensures they are capable of performing work safely on energized systems, protecting themselves and others from electrical hazards.

nfpa 70e training

While NFPA 70E serves as the foundational standard for compliance in training and qualifying employees, we believe effective training goes beyond simply understanding standards and regulations. Our training not only ensures compliance with OSHA and NFPA 70E, but also fosters a deeper understanding of electrical systems and safety protocols, reducing risk and empowering employees to work smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

PRACTICAL & HANDS-ON

While many programs focus solely on compliance and theory, our eight-hour in-person training emphasizes hands-on application, giving your team the opportunity to work directly with the tools and devices they’ll encounter in the field. From reading electrical schematics to using multimeters for basic troubleshooting tasks, participants develop skills that directly translate to safer, more efficient work practices.
