Our popular Combined CSA Z462 Arc Flash Training and High Voltage Safety training course is designed for frontline workers responsible for electrical systems. This standard covers safe work practices for electrical hazards in the workplace. Students will gain a solid understanding of hazards encountered while operating or maintaining electrical installations in the low-voltage (below 750V) class, including a full understanding of arc-hazard categorization, appropriate PPE selection, and safe electrical work procedures, as well as the high-voltage class.
High Voltage Electrical Safety Training
This 12-Hour course is designed to help organizations identify shock and arc-flash hazards and prevent injuries and incidents associated with them.
Our Combined Arc Flash/Electrical Safety Awareness Workshop is taught by a certified electrical expert with more than 25 years of field experience in electrical safety and maintenance. This electrical safety workshop examines workplace hazards and emphasizes that employees proactively recognize hazards and apply safe work practices to achieve zero accidents.
CSA Z462 sets a recommended standard for Electrical Safety in Canada. It states that electrical workers "shall be trained in safety-related work practices and procedural requirements as necessary to provide protection from the electrical hazards associated with their respective jobs or task assignments. Workers shall be trained to identify and understand the relationship between electrical hazards and possible injury."
Our Electrical Safety Training Course provides a comprehensive blend of instruction and hands-on learning. Participants engage with electrical safety videos, physical demonstrations of PPE, and group discussions that encourage problem-solving and real-world application. The course includes a formal test at the end to confirm understanding and reinforce key concepts.
The training explains essential job briefing requirements and covers hazardous energy control through proper lockout/tagout procedures. It also guides workers through safe switching practices, clearance procedures, and the correct selection and use of personal protective equipment, including flame-resistant clothing and rubber protective gear.
Participants learn about testing and using live-line tools, along with the precautions required when working on or near exposed lines. The course details safe methods for de-energizing lines and equipment, as well as the principles and application of personal protective grounding to ensure worker protection.
Substation safety is addressed extensively, including awareness of special conditions that may affect work practices. Additional modules cover the unique hazards associated with capacitors, current transformers, potential transformers, and the importance of proper fuse and relay coordination to maintain system integrity and prevent electrical incidents.
Recognize medium-voltage and high-voltage electrical sources, equipment hazards, and the conditions that create shock and arc-flash risks.
Identify the engineering and administrative controls that protect workers from hazardous energy in industrial and utility environments.
Understand how induced currents, step potentials, and ground gradients form around high-voltage systems and how to mitigate their dangers.
Safely select, install, and maintain temporary protective grounds to prevent electrical injury during switching operations and maintenance work.
Interpret single-line diagrams and develop safe switching sequences to isolate equipment, validate operating orders, and maintain required documentation.
Identify electrical safety training requirements for qualified electrical workers under NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, OSHA, and industry best practices.
Perform shock hazard analysis by defining protection boundaries, selecting proper PPE, and establishing an electrically safe work condition.
Explain arc-flash hazards, incident energy, protection boundaries, and the factors that influence arc-flash severity in LV and HV systems.
Select appropriate arc-rated PPE using NFPA 70E/CSA Z462 methods, including category tables, testing requirements, and maintenance
guidelines.
Apply effective job safety planning, including hazard identification, risk assessment, switching coordination, and control measures for safe electrical work.

NEW ANNEX: Prevention of Shock Injuries from Electrostatic Discharges
Prevention of Shock Injuries from Electrostatic Discharges describes workplace scenarios, such as high-speed network operations, in which the potential for shock injury from electrostatic discharge exists. This Annex identifies methods to prevent, control, and protect personnel from injury.
NEW: DC Safety-related Work Practices
The 3rd edition of Z462 provides considerably more information on safety-related practices for work on and around DC systems. A new Shock Protection Boundary Table for DC systems and an arc flash energy calculation method for DC systems have been added. Extensive revisions have been made to deal with safety-related practices for batteries, battery rooms and battery enclosures. Both high value for anyone working on or around DC equipment. This new additional information is essential for working on DC systems.

DAY TWO
Recognizing Electrical Safety Hazards - Where Do They Exist?
A detailed review of critical electrical safety hazards created by energized electrical equipment:
Resolving Electrical Safety Hazards
Objective: Determine the controls used to protect workers from all energy sources created in the workplace. Benefits of a safe workplace include fewer injuries, lower worker compensation costs, reduced service interruptions, greater protection of capital investment, and increased uptime. This section will provide you with a detailed blueprint that maximizes electrical safety and all the benefits it generates.
GENERAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
SWITCHING
This section of the course will instruct on how to: interpret and use a single-line diagram to write a switching sequence to safely isolate an electrical device for work; validate existing operating orders and switching procedures; and develop and maintain mandated documentation for all electrical equipment isolation and maintenance work.
