Vancouver Arc Flash Training With The Electricity Forum
VANCOUVER -
More than 20 local electrical professionals recently attended the Electricity Forum's Arc Flash and Electrical Safety certified training course in Richmond, BC. Instructor-led electrical training is the preferred method for teaching electrical safety because students get to ask questions, discuss common problems and concerns and learn more than just how to follow the rules. They leave the class better prepared to avoid and prevent electrical accidents in the workplace.
Our popular Arc Flash Training course is designed for front-line workers who are responsible for electrical systems. This standard covers safe work practices related to electrical dangers 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 the arc hazard categorization, appropriate PPE selection and safe electrical work procedures AND the high voltage class.
This one-day course is designed to assist organizations to identify shock and arc flash hazards and prevent injuries and incidents associated with those hazards.
Our Arc Flash/Electrical Safety Awareness Workshop is instructed by our certified electrical expert, who has more than 25 years field electrical safety and maintenance experience. This electrical safety workshop examines the hazards found in the workplace and stresses the importance of the individual employee proactively recognizing hazards and applying safe work practices with the goal of 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." CSA Z462 mandates that all Canadian electrical workers be trained in Arc Flash/Electrical Safety Awareness and receive refresher training every 3 years. For more information, click here:
