Electrical Safety-Related Work Practices and the 2021 NFPA 70E for Supervisors and Managers

Electrical safety is paramount, as with any kind of safety compliance in a workplace. Originally requested by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has developed a set of standards called the 70E, its set of standards for electrical safety in the workplace. It assists companies and employees to avoid workplace injuries and fatalities due to electrical emergencies and hazards and helps in complying with certain OSHA regulations.

The 2021 NFPA 70E is the latest edition, and this course covers the first chapter to familiarize supervisors and managers with their obligations and responsibilities as part of developing or enhancing their workplace safety initiatives and protocols.

The course covers core components like the two hazards of electricity, eliminating hazards, the electrical safety program, risk assessment and risk control, incident investigation and auditing, and many other topics related to implementing or enhancing a successful electrical safety plan as part of your overall workplace safety procedures.

Use this course with your management staff to ensure everyone is on the same page when it comes to workplace safety and peoples’ rights and responsibilities using the latest NFPA 70E as a framework and to comply with safety regulations.
