Course Overview
The NCTI OSHA-Compliant Electrical Safety Training is a critical risk-management course for any employee working near energized equipment. In the eyes of OSHA, being an “Unqualified Person” doesn’t mean you are unskilled—it means you haven’t been certified to work on live circuits. However, you still need to know how to work safely around them.
This course provides the mandatory safety knowledge required for technicians, mechanics, pipe fitters, and laborers to protect themselves from the three “silent killers” of the job site: Electric Shock, Arc Flash, and Arc Blast. Students will learn to respect approach boundaries, identify hazards, and select the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to ensure they go home safe every day.
Who Should Attend (Unqualified Personnel):
- Broadband Technicians
- Mechanics and Pipe Fitters
- Site Managers and Safety Personnel
- General Laborers working near electrical infrastructure
What You Will Learn
Upon completion, students will be able to define the “Qualified” vs. “Unqualified” distinction and implement strategies to mitigate the severity of electrical incidents.
Core Competencies:
- Hazard Recognition: List the three major hazards associated with electrical energy (Shock, Arc Flash, Arc Blast) and the factors that make them deadly.
- Regulatory Compliance: State the training requirements of OSHA Regulations and describe the basic content of electrical standards.
- Risk Mitigation: Identify protection strategies, including the use of barriers and PPE, to work safely near energized equipment.
- Boundaries: Understand “Approach Boundaries” and the specific procedures for working near them without crossing the line into danger.
- Definitions: Define the term “Qualified Person” and explain how it relates to electrical safety responsibilities.
