NFPA 70E Arc Flash / Electrical Safety Awareness
Shock and arc-flash hazards do not announce themselves — they wait for the moment someone treats energized equipment like it is de-energized. This course teaches general-industry employees, maintenance teams, facilities staff, and supervisors who work on, near, or around electrical equipment the shock/arc-flash/arc-blast hazard basics, the qualified-versus-unqualified boundary, the steps to an electrically safe work condition, approach boundaries and risk assessment, arc-flash labels/incident energy/PPE awareness, and energized-work decision limits, grounded in OSHA electrical safety-related work-practice rules (29 CFR Subpart S) and NFPA 70E consensus-standard concepts. Eight fifteen-minute modules, forty checkpoint questions inside the videos, a quiz after each module, and a final exam drawn at random from a 20-question bank.
Who This Course Is For
The course is written for anyone whose work puts them on, near, or around electrical equipment and needs shock/arc-flash/arc-blast awareness. It is awareness-level, so it suits general-industry employees and supervisors, not only designated qualified electrical workers.
What the Course Covers
Eight modules of about fifteen minutes each. Five knowledge checkpoints sit inside every video, and a module quiz closes each one.

A Final Exam Drawn at Random
The final assessment pulls 10 questions from a 20-question bank and shuffles the answer options on every attempt. Module quizzes and in-video checkpoints shuffle their options too, so there is no answer pattern to pass around the team and no position that is right more often than any other. You need 80% to pass, and you can retake it as many times as you need. Each retake is a fresh draw, not a second run at the same paper.
What This Completion Record Does and Does Not Cover
Completion documents awareness-level electrical safety and arc-flash training support only. It is not qualification as an electrician, qualified electrical worker, arc-flash analyst, energized-work permit approver, or authorization to troubleshoot, test, repair, or enter electrical approach boundaries. The employer must provide job-, equipment-, voltage-, procedure-, PPE-, emergency-, and authorization-specific training before assigning covered electrical work.
What Your Employer Still Has to Give You
Read this before you assign seats. This course teaches awareness — the job-, equipment-, voltage- and procedure-specific training, the qualified/unqualified determination, and any authorization to do covered electrical work is the part the course cannot do for you.
Employers: this course delivers general electrical safety and arc-flash awareness under OSHA electrical safety-related work-practice rules and NFPA 70E concepts — shock/arc-flash/arc-blast recognition, the qualified/unqualified boundary, electrically safe work condition basics, approach boundaries and risk assessment, labels/incident energy/PPE awareness, energized-work decision limits, and emergency response. It does not replace your obligation to provide job-, equipment-, voltage-, procedure-, PPE-, emergency- and authorization-specific training before assigning covered electrical work.

Common Questions
Does this qualify me as an electrician or qualified electrical worker?
No. This is awareness-level training only. It does not qualify, certify, or authorize a person as an electrician, qualified electrical worker, arc-flash analyst, or energized-work permit approver, or authorize troubleshooting, testing, repair, or entry into electrical approach boundaries. Your employer must provide job-, equipment-, voltage-, procedure-, PPE-, emergency- and authorization-specific training before assigning covered electrical work.
Who needs this training?
General-industry employees, maintenance teams, facilities staff and supervisors who work on, near, or around electrical equipment and need shock/arc-flash/arc-blast awareness under OSHA electrical safety-related work-practice rules and NFPA 70E concepts.
What does it say about PPE and incident energy?
It covers awareness-level concepts — reading arc-flash labels, understanding what incident energy and PPE category mean, and recognizing why PPE selection is task-specific. It does not select PPE for you or replace your employer’s hazard/risk assessment.
Does this replace lockout/tagout or energized-work permit training?
No. It teaches awareness of achieving an electrically safe work condition and energized-work decision limits, but your employer’s lockout/tagout procedures, energized-work permit process, and authorization for any exception remain employer-specific and are not granted by this course.
Is this a hands-on electrical training or a certification exam?
No. It is awareness-level online training with in-video checkpoints and knowledge quizzes — not hands-on electrical work, not a licensing exam, and not qualification as an electrician or qualified electrical worker.
How often does this training need to be repeated?
The course sets no fixed retraining interval — your employer sets the refresher schedule. A change of equipment, procedures, personnel, or an actual incident is a reason to retrain regardless of the calendar.
Why eight modules and 120 minutes?
The course covers eight required areas at awareness level: orientation to OSHA and NFPA 70E, shock/arc-flash/arc-blast hazard recognition, the qualified/unqualified boundary, achieving an electrically safe work condition, approach boundaries and risk assessment, labels/incident energy/PPE awareness, energized-work decision limits, and emergency response. Fifteen minutes each keeps every module focused and assignable without eating a full shift.
Does watching the videos count as training on its own?
Passive playback is not the point. That is why there are forty checkpoint questions inside the videos, a quiz after every module and a final exam, each with feedback on the answer. Seeking forward past a checkpoint is blocked, and playback pauses after a stretch of inactivity.
What happens if someone fails the final exam?
They retake it. Every attempt draws a new set of questions from the bank, so a retake is a real re-test, not a repeat of the same paper.
Can I buy seats for my team?
Yes. Five-seat and ten-seat bundles are on this page, and there is an enterprise option for larger headcounts.
