Why NFPA 70E Electrical Safety Matters

A strong workplace electrical safety program begins with understanding the intent and structure of NFPA 70E. The standard provides a consistent framework for managing arc flash hazards, defining shock protection boundaries, and determining when energized work is justified. By connecting technical requirements with practical, real-world decision-making, NFPA 70E helps organizations build predictable, disciplined maintenance practices that significantly reduce risk. When workers understand how to apply the standard—not just read it—they make safer choices, avoid unnecessary exposure, and contribute to a culture where electrical incidents become far less likely. This leads to improved equipment reliability, reduced downtime, and a measurable increase in worker accountability across all operations.

 

NFPA 70E Training Requirements

Our instructor-led NFPA 70E training course prepares qualified electrical workers to meet the National Fire Protection Association’s electrical safety standard for workplace protection. It explains the critical relationship between OSHA and NFPA 70E, walking through the standard article by article to highlight essential arc flash requirements and best practices. 

This six-hour live online NFPA 70E electrical safety course teaches workers to identify, assess, and control electrical hazards, including arc flash and shock hazards. Emphasis is placed on OSHA-compliant electrical safety procedures, energized work restrictions, and the methods necessary to prevent injuries, equipment damage, and costly downtime.

 

NFPA 70E Training Benefits

This arc flash safety course provides comprehensive instruction in hazard identification and safe electrical work practices. Workers learn how to interpret risk assessments, choose the correct PPE, and follow procedures that align with both OSHA regulations and NFPA 70E electrical safety requirements. The course supports a workplace safety culture where hazards are recognized early and addressed proactively.

 

Key advantages include:

Enhanced safety: Workers develop the ability to recognize and mitigate arc flash and shock hazards in real job conditions.
OSHA compliance: This course reinforces the electrical safety practices required by 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S and NFPA 70E.
Accident prevention: Proper hazard awareness reduces electrical injuries and equipment failures.
Improved efficiency: Trained employees perform tasks with greater confidence and consistency.
Lower costs: Reducing incidents minimizes medical expenses, downtime, and operational losses.

By investing in this OSHA-compliant electrical safety program, organizations strengthen reliability, reduce liability, and maintain a workforce trained to carry out electrical tasks with discipline and care.

 

NFPA 70E Training – What You Will Learn

This NFPA 70E electrical safety course gives you the skills to:

  • Understand the risks associated with short circuits, electrical arcs, and arc flash events.

  • Interpret and apply Arc Flash Risk Assessment results to manage incident energy levels.

  • Choose appropriate PPE for specific tasks and voltage categories.

  • Follow safe electrical work procedures to prevent shock, arc-blast injuries, and electrocution.

  • Implement workplace electrical safety program elements that comply with OSHA and NFPA 70E.

Our instruction focuses on practical, field-ready safe work practices for operating, troubleshooting, and maintaining electrical equipment.
