Electrical Safety Training (NFPA 70E) course will provide an in-depth explanation of the hazards associated with working on or near electrical conductors and equipment, and the regulatory requirements for protecting employees from these hazards. Some employees (such as electricians and power line workers) work directly with electricity, while others (such as salespeople and office employees) work with electricity indirectly. These employees must be adequately trained to understand the basic concepts related to electricity and safe work practices to avoid accidents and injuries.
It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that electrical equipment is free from recognized hazards that are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. A qualified person must assess the workplace to identify electrical hazards to which employees may be exposed. This assessment would allow for the selection of appropriate hazard controls and safe work practices to ensure the health and safety of employees and prevent damage to structures and equipment.This course is intended for workers who work on or near electrical conductors and circuit parts, including managers, supervisors, maintenance personnel, janitorial staff, equipment operators, and electricians.

This OSHA Electrical Safety Training (NFPA 70E) course consists of 2 modules broken down into 7 lessons. Students are required to take each lesson in sequential order as listed below.
Course Content
- Module 1: OSHA and the NFPA- This module will provide information on the OSHA and NFPA 70 regulatory requirements for protecting workers from electrical hazards and the importance of Ohm’s Law for electrical safety practices. Lessons will support learners to distinguish between electrical conductors and insulators and understand the difference between voltage, current, and resistance. Lessons will explain the 3-Stage Safety Model, and electrical hazards such as electric shock and electrocution, and explain how working around electrical equipment can make workers more vulnerable to falls. Participants will gain an understanding of the considerations for using fire extinguishers for putting out electrical fires, pertinent elements of an electrical safety program, and the roles and responsibilities of employers in the context of electrical safety.
- Lesson 1: What is Electricity?
- Lesson 2: Electrical Hazards
- Lesson 3: Regulatory Overview
- Module 2: Hazard Controls and Safe Work Practices– This module focuses on a few essential safety practices and the protective equipment required for protecting workers from the dangers of electrical hazards. Lessons will describe insulation, guarding, and grounding as methods for controlling electrical hazards, and how bonding reduces the risk of electrical shocks and electrocutions. Lessons will give examples of overcurrent protection devices and situations where electrical circuits and equipment cannot be de-energized. Lockout/tagout procedures, considerations for using insulated tools and equipment, the PPE used for specific parts of the body, and the characteristics of arc-rated clothing will be explained. The module will also explain the requirements for qualified and unqualified persons, safe use of fixed and flexible wiring, requirements for illumination and housekeeping when working around electricity, and the protocols to follow in case of an emergency.
- Lesson 4: Controlling Electrical Hazards
- Lesson 5: Electrically Safe Work Condition
- Lesson 6: Protective Equipment
- Lesson 7: Safe Work Practices
The core objective of the Electrical Safety Training (NFPA 70E) course is to familiarize workers with electrical hazards in their workplaces and the safe work practices that must be implemented to keep them safe, in compliance with OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K for the general industry and construction industry, respectively.
Course Objectives

A Final Note
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent or qualified. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course, it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer.
