DID YOU KNOW? Every 30 minutes during the work day, a worker suffers an electrically induced injury that requires time off the job for recovery. In fact, one of OSHA’s fatal four construction points is electrocution. Ensure safer installations, work environments and practices with ISTS electrical safety training. ISTS offers expert training on OSHA standards 1910.147, 1910.333, and (Lockout/Tagout) & NFPA Arc Flash.

LOTO / ARC FLASH Brochure

NFPA 70E, titled "Electrical Safety in the Workplace," is the heart of U.S. arc flash regulations. It outlines the specific practices and standards to be followed in protecting a workplace from arc flash and other electrical hazards. We strongly recommend that companies that are likely to perform electrical work own a copy of NFPA 70e, & consult with trained professionals to develop an Arc Flash Safety Program.

The primary focus of NFPA 70e is the establishment of an electrically safe work condition, meaning that equipment is fully de-energized and cannot be re-energized while work is being performed. The following steps should be followed to create an electrically safe work condition:

• Determine all possible sources of electrical energy to the equipment.
• Interrupt load current and open disconnecting devices for all sources.
• Where possible, visually confirm that disconnecting devices are open.
• Follow appropriate lockout/tag-out procedures.
• Verify that equipment is de-energized using a voltmeter. Until equipment is tested, assume that it is still energized.
• Use grounding devices where the possibility of stored energy or induction exists.

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT COURSES:

1. Effective Employee – 4 hour: This course offers students an opportunity to get an overview of controlling hazardous energy standards for general industry, 1910.147 & 1910.131-135.

2. Authorized User – 8 hours: In addition to the Effective Employee course, students will get 4 hours of hands-on training with ISTS’s Lockout Simulator. There are over 30 lockout points that include: chemical, water, electrical, pressure, and pneumatic energy.

ARC FLASH COURSES:

1. NFPA 70E Electrical Arc Flash Safety Training for the Workplace – Our 8 Hour training program will focus on key elements of the NFPA 70E Standard: Introduction to the Standard, Definitions; Elements of Electrical Hazards; Shock Hazard Analysis; Arc-flash Analysis; Labeling and PPE Requirements; “The training is based on the 2012 version of the NFPA 70E Standard.

2. Advanced Electrical Arc Flash Training for the Workplace – Our 16 hour Advanced Training Workshop is designed to teach companies how to design or improve their existing Electrical Safety Management Systems, Electrical Safety Programs, and how to comply with those standards. Hands-on exercises and facility walk through will occur during this course.

3. Arc Flash & Electrical Safety Training Refresher Classes – NFPA 70E 2012 requires that all workers attend a training course every three years. Continue to keep your workers safe through refresher courses that provide 70E updates, help them to apply what they have already learned, and/or to grow via new, safe work practices. These refresher classes are designed for anyone who has completed previous qualified electrical safety training.
