✅ Who Should Take This Course?

This course is written for workers who may be exposed to electrical hazards or who oversee electrical work, including:

• Electricians and electrical apprentices
• Maintenance technicians and mechanics
• Facility, plant, and building operations personnel
• Supervisors and foremen who oversee electrical work
• Safety professionals and EHS staff
• Other workers who work on or near exposed energized parts

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the OSHA Requirement?

This course is designed to provide the awareness-level electrical safety training addressed by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.331-1910.335 (Subpart S) and NFPA 70E, which OSHA references as a recognized method of compliance. OSHA does not approve, certify, or license training providers or courses, so no course carries an OSHA approval number; the employer is responsible for ensuring training meets the standard, and a certificate of completion is acceptable documentation.

Important: this awareness-level course does not by itself make a worker a "qualified person." Qualified-person status requires employer training on the specific equipment and demonstrated skills and techniques under 29 CFR 1910.332 and NFPA 70E. Your employer must still provide site-specific and hands-on training for the equipment and tasks in your workplace.

✅ OSHA Training Requirements

OSHA's electrical safety-related work practices in Subpart S require that employees who face a risk of electric shock be trained in and familiar with the safety-related work practices in 29 CFR 1910.331-1910.335. The depth of training depends on whether a worker is qualified or unqualified, and NFPA 70E provides the recognized method for meeting these requirements.

• Employees must be trained in the safety-related work practices of 29 CFR 1910.331-1910.335
• Qualified persons must be trained in skills and techniques to distinguish exposed live parts, determine voltage, and work safely on or near energized parts under 1910.332
• De-energize before working on or near exposed live parts unless de-energizing is infeasible or introduces additional hazards (1910.333)
• Provide and require electrical PPE, insulated tools, and alerting techniques under 1910.335
• Employer determines who is qualified and documents the required training

How this course helps: This 3-hour course delivers the awareness-level electrical safety and NFPA 70E content that helps employees recognize shock, arc flash, and arc blast hazards, approach boundaries, and the hierarchy of risk controls under Subpart S. It contributes to the training foundation an employer builds on; the employer supplies the equipment-specific, hands-on training and skills demonstration required to designate a worker as a qualified person under 1910.332 and NFPA 70E.

✅ How Often Is Retraining Required?

Under NFPA 70E, employees must be retrained at intervals not to exceed three years. Retraining is also required whenever the job or task changes, when new procedures or equipment are introduced, or when supervision or annual inspection indicates that an employee is not complying with the safe work practices. Many workers refresh this training on a three-year cycle, and employers keep the completion certificate on file as documentation.

✅ How to Stay Compliant

1. Confirm with your employer that you need electrical safety / NFPA 70E training and whether you are being trained toward qualified-person status.
2. Enroll online and complete the three one-hour sections at your own pace.
3. Pass the final exam and receive your certificate of completion by email instantly.
4. Provide the certificate to your employer for its training records.
5. Complete your employer's equipment-specific, hands-on training and skills demonstration required for qualified-person status.
6. Follow your employer's electrical safety program, energized work permit process, and PPE requirements on the job.
7. Retrain at least every three years, or sooner if your tasks, equipment, or procedures change.

✅ What You Will Learn

• How electric shock, arc flash, and arc blast injure workers and what determines severity
• The scope of OSHA Subpart S (1910.331-1910.335) and how OSHA uses NFPA 70E
• The difference between qualified and unqualified persons
• Shock approach boundaries and the arc-flash boundary
• How to establish an electrically safe work condition and apply the hierarchy of risk controls
• When an energized work permit is required and how to select arc-rated PPE
• Care of electrical PPE and the NFPA 70E retraining requirement

✅ Course Content Overview

The course is organized into three one-hour sections followed by a final exam:

• Hour 1 - Electrical hazards and scope: electric shock, arc flash and arc blast; the scope of 29 CFR 1910.331-1910.335; how OSHA uses NFPA 70E and the General Duty Clause; common causes of electrical incidents; and the general rule to de-energize before working on live parts.
• Hour 2 - Boundaries and safe work conditions: qualified vs. unqualified persons; limited and restricted approach boundaries; the arc-flash boundary and incident energy; establishing an electrically safe work condition; the hierarchy of risk controls; and how lockout/tagout (1910.147) interfaces with electrical de-energization.
• Hour 3 - Permits, PPE, and retraining: when an energized work permit is required; electrical PPE under 1910.335(a); arc-rated clothing, arc rating (cal/cm2) and PPE categories; alerting techniques under 1910.335(b); inspection and care of insulating equipment; and the NFPA 70E three-year retraining requirement.
