High Voltage 600 Volts & Above
Training duration: 1 day
The high-voltage safety course covers the key aspects of OSHA’s standard for generation, transmission, and distribution, 29 CFR 1910.269. This standard applies to organizations that either generate electricity or transmit energy to others. It also applies to organizations that have their own substations or electrical distribution systems.
During this class, participants will learn to recognize and avoid unsafe work areas. Students will also learn correct approach distances. Upon completion, attendees will have a better understanding of proper voltage rated tools, and the use of proper personal protection equipment (PPE). By educating personnel on issues central to the safe performance of their everyday jobs, loss of life,
