NFPA 70E training teaches electrical workers to recognize, evaluate, and control arc flash and shock hazards. This six-hour live online course helps ensure OSHA compliance, safer workplaces, and reduced downtime by promoting effective electrical safety procedures and arc flash awareness.
What Is NFPA 70E Training?
Our 6-hour live online 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, moving through the standard article by article to highlight essential safety requirements and best practices.
NFPA 70E training teaches electrical workers to recognize, evaluate, and control arc flash and shock hazards. This six-hour live online course helps ensure OSHA compliance, safer workplaces, and reduced downtime by promoting effective electrical safety procedures and arc flash awareness.
NFPA 70E training is essential for anyone exposed to electrical hazards in the workplace—electricians, maintenance personnel, contractors, engineers, supervisors, and safety professionals. For visual examples, visit our Arc Flash Video page.
While essential for qualified workers who install, maintain, and repair electrical systems, this training also benefits facility managers, building owners, and unqualified staff who work near energized equipment. Understanding electrical hazards enables everyone to prevent accidents, reduce risk, and maintain productivity. See how training saves lives by reviewing Arc Flash Injuries.
A key element of NFPA 70E training is learning to identify exposed energized parts, apply insulation and shielding correctly, and choose the right personal protective equipment (PPE). For PPE ratings and categories, refer to our Arc Flash PPE guide.
