This electrical safety course is designed for high voltage qualified persons.  The course has the following benefits:

1. Comprehensive and fulfills the training requirements for NFPA 70E and applicable OSHA regulations for high voltage qualified persons.

2. Oriented toward persons performing work near or operating electrical equipment which will increase facility safety.

3. Fast paced and engaging so that the attendees remember what has been presented

4. Video of arc flash accidents and PPE testing that give the attendees a sense of the hazards in the electrical world.

5. Taught by knowledgeable instructors with field experience and knowledge so that the students can ask questions and get immediate answers.

The High Voltage OSHA 1910.269 8 Hour Qualified Training Course  is developed by e-Hazard and presented by Robert E. Fuhr, P.E.  In one day of training, high voltage qualified persons receive the mandatory level of classroom training needed on the primary governmental regulations for shock and arc flash safety.  e-Hazard’s High Voltage OSHA 1910.269 Training Course covers safe work practices, how to protect against shock and arc flash, PPE requirements, permits, creating an electrically safe work condition, and much, much more.  The program is full of informative and stunning arc flash videos of garment testing and actual arc flash accidents.  Following is just an example of what is covered in this acclaimed program.

Course Pre-Requisite: Low Voltage NFPA 70E 8 Hour Qualified

Course Purpose: Electricians, supervisors and electrical engineers responsible for maintaining 1– 138 kV industrial high voltage distributions systems.

Safety Facts

Fact:  Almost 8000 electrical contact accidents occur in the U.S. each year.

Fact:  One worker dies each day from electrical contact. 

Fact:  Fatalities from electrical accidents with a potential arc flash component have been trending downward since recent mandatory safe work practices have become “law.”

It often takes facts and statistics to convince us of why we need to take more care when working around electrical hazards. To achieve this level of understanding, e-Hazard includes the following:

• Accident statistics.

• Governmental regulations and laws, and their working relationships

  • OSHA and 70E

  • NESC and 70E

  • Citations.

• What comprises an electrical safety program?

• What makes the most difference in an electrical safety program?
