This four-hour course provides a comprehensive overview of the 2024 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.
The NFPA 70E Standard was designed to fulfill Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety rules for working around electricity. The NFPA 70E is not an OSHA publication, but it effectively fulfills applicable OSHA requirements.
The 2024 NFPA 70E and this course are also consistent with NFPA requirements from the 2023 NFPA 70 National Electrical Code. All lesson material is approved by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies.
After finishing this course, licensees will be able to:
- Describe the purpose, scope, and arrangement of the 2024 NFPA 70E.
- Understand how the 2024 NFPA 70E Standard applies to general electrical installations, electrical maintenance, and work on special electrical equipment.
- Explain the difference between mandatory rules, permissive rules, and explanatory materials in 70E.
- Describe terms and definitions specific to the NFPA 70 Standard.
- Understand the need and process for establishing electrically safe work conditions around equipment.
- Be familiar with an electrical safety program (ESP)
- Understand host employer and contract employer responsibilities for maintaining electrical safety on the job site.
- Execute safe handling, storage, and grounding of portable electrical tools.
- Understand ground-fault protection for electrical tools and equipment.
- Understand lockout/tagout (LOTO) as a safety protocol.
- Understand that both simple and complex procedures are recognized by NFPA 70E for LOTO.
- Explain an arc-flash event while being familiar with hazards to human life resulting from a lack of proper PPE on the job.
- Be familiar with the types of maintenance necessary for fuses, circuit breakers, and their associated parts.
- Understand the types of personal protective equipment (PPE) and that maintenance or inspection of PPE is required at regular intervals.
