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 and related fire alarm training topics within life safety programs. 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, as live online fire alarm training becomes more accessible, 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 while highlighting worker safety leadership across the industry with the goal of zero accidents.

CSA Z462 sets a recommended standard for Electrical Safety in Canada and aligns with federal investment in the electricity workforce underway to support evolving skills needs. 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, which also supports attracting young Canadians to electricity careers through a clear safety training pathway.

"Stop messaging me about arc flash training. It's a f****** joke. I'm a certified electrician I don't need to pay someone to tell me the dangers of my job."

That's what someone wrote to me yesterday when I sent my promotion about our upcoming arc flash training course, at 

https://electricityforum.com/electrical-training/arc-flash-training

It’s a real glimpse into the thinking of many electrical professionals who think they are right, right up until the day they find out they are wrong. 

And it’s the kind of resistance professional electrical safety trainers face every day and an indication of a knowledge gap in safety education.

We ask our students in class: Think of a time when you had a really close call, and ‘got away with it’. And In every class, we find our that every electrician in class has had at least one of those moments. Many electricians have been shocked or burned, and most electricians at least know a story of someone who ended up in the hospital. We know five electricians that have been burned in arc flash incidents over the years.

Electrical workers with that kind of thinking and who work uninjured, are lucky, though leadership in worker safety can improve outcomes.

However, the best way to prevent thousands of arc flash accidents every year in North America is "Good Training", not "Good Luck!"

Every electrical professional needs electrical safety training, including fire alarm training for life safety systems. And every electrical worker needs retraining, every three years.

The Electricity Forum Training Institute organizes regular arc flash training courses to review changes made to CSA Z462, with options such as Vancouver arc flash training available to regional attendees.

Here is more information about our Arc Flash Training courses, and we also provide live online fire alarm training for complementary competencies.
