Scope
This 2-hour program meets the minimum requirements for training on OSHA-mandated "Electrical Safety-Related
Work Practices" for those non-electrical support personnel whose work may expose them to the hazard of being near or exposed
to electrical parts operating at 50 volts or more to ground. Various interactive
instructional techniques will be used throughout the course including the use of Participant/Observer role-playing using video
case studies of actual accidents to help the participants use the information learned from this course both at work and at
home. The course has been designed to meet objectives in both the cognitive and
affective educational domains to provide the participants with not only the “what’s” of the electrical work
practices but also the “whys”. This course can be built around your
company’s written electrical work practices, if available, or the program can be presented using industry best practices
based upon the information presented in 29CFR1910.300-399 and NFPA 70, 70B and 70E consensus industrial standards.
