Electrical Safety for Non-Electrical Personnel (Virtual)

Virtually every worker on an industrial or commercial job site works with or uses electrically-powered equipment. Most of these workers have no concept of the hazards they could possibly be exposed to by performing common, everyday tasks. Jewelry contacting energized components, overstressed power strips, coffee pots and heaters placed into the workplace all can increase the risk to the employee and to production if the worker is not aware of the potential issues involved. This course covers common situations that could place the non-electrical worker into dangerous situations. This course is primarily designed to meet the training requirements in NFPA 70E Section 110.2(A)(l)(C)(2).
