High Voltage Qualified Electrical Worker
Safety Training
The risk of serious injury or electrocution increases when working near or on electrical equipment operating at higher voltage levels.
This 8-hour course is exclusively designed for commercial and industrial workers who must work around higher voltages, as well as supervisors and safety professionals. The High Voltage Qualified Electrical Worker Safety Training course will explain the safety-related work practices required by OSHA 1910.269 and the National Electric Safety Code.
At the completion of the course, the students will understand how to keep themselves and others safe by applying these safe work practices to their daily job duties.
Reviews
This training exceeded my expectations, thanks largely to the trainer’s expertise, professionalism, and enthusiasm.
