Frequently Asked Questions
This online electrical training class meets and exceeds the compliance requirements of NFPA 70E, and OSHA’s electrical safety standards as codified in 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S for the general industry and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K for the construction industry.
The NFPA 70E is an internationally accepted American National Standard that defines electrical safety-related work practices. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) looks to the prescriptive-based requirements of NFPA 70E to fulfill the performance-based requirements included in its standards. NFPA 70E elaborates on how the performance-based requirements in OSHA’s standards can be met by providing and defining minimum standard industry practices necessary for electrical safety. OSHA is the law, and NFPA 70E outlines ways to comply with OSHA’s electrical safety training requirements. This symbiotic relationship between NFPA 70E and OSHA electrical safety standards helps to increase safety in the workplace.
