What buyers say about audit-readiness

Cheaper than the classroom option we used before and the records are cleaner. Buying seats for the crew took a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which standard does this follow?

OSHA’s standard for electric power generation, transmission and distribution work, 29 CFR 1910.269, including the minimum approach distance requirements in paragraph (l)(3).

What is a minimum approach distance?

The closest an employee or a conductive object they hold may come to an energised part at a given voltage. 1910.269 requires the employer to establish those distances and to keep employees outside them unless specific conditions in the rule are met.

Does this course make someone a qualified employee?

No. A qualified employee is one the employer has determined is knowledgeable in the construction and operation of the equipment and the hazards involved, demonstrated through the training and proficiency the standard describes. Awareness training supports that determination; it does not replace the employer’s judgement or the hands-on component.

Is this the same as an NFPA 70E arc flash course?

No. 1910.269 governs utility line work, while NFPA 70E is a consensus standard commonly applied to general industry electrical work. We sell a separate arc flash and electrical safety awareness course for that.

Who typically takes it?

Utility field crews, meter and service technicians, contractors working near energised distribution equipment, and the supervisors who plan that work.
