Electrical Safety Training
QSR Electrical Engineering offers Electrical Safety Training for electrical workers and non-electrical workers. Both groups are required to have training relevant to their occupational hazards as per CSA Z462.
The courses can be given at your facility, off-site meeting room, or in an online webinar. Documentation and Certificates of electrical safety training shall be provided.
We offer several electrical safety training options including:
- 4 Hour Non-electrical worker Electrical Awareness / Shock / Arc-flash / PPE / CSA Z462
- 8 Hour Electrical worker Electrical Awareness / Shock / Arc-flash / PPE / CSA Z462
- 2 Hour Electrical worker Volt Testing and Contact Release
- Customizable Safety Training Options per Your Specific Needs!
Course: Non-electrical worker Electrical Awareness
This course was developed for process operators and operating technicians who operate electrical equipment, and write safe work permits for electrical workers. It meets the requirements of CSA Z462 and ensures an understanding of occupational electrical hazards (shock & arc-flash), safe work procedures and PPE selection & testing.
It also covers:
- Electrical faults (short-circuits vs. overloads)
- Electrical hazards, causes and mitigation (shock & arc-flash)
- Industrial electrical systems vs. the body’s electrical system
- Operator case studies
- Thorough review of arc-flash hazards, causes and mitigating factors, labels, videos, burns and time to burn, working distance, and arc-blast
- Human factors
- Electrical gloves and daily testing
- Safe switching technique
- Resetting of tripped breakers
- Basics of CSA Z462 electrical worker duties aiding the issuance of safe work permits
- H&S Department responsibilities
Target Audience: Operators, Instrument, HVAC, Elevator and Battery technicians, Shift Supervisors, Managers, building wardens, engineers, and H&S staff
Duration / Recertification: 4 hours / 3 years
