Using Electrical Safety Programs (US)
NFPA 70E, the standard for workplace electrical safety, requires employers to develop and implement an electrical safety program. This program must direct activities appropriate for the voltage, energy level and circuit conditions that employees may encounter. It must also define the safety practices that are required by the employer and any applicable standards. Your employer is responsible for having a program and training you about it, but remember that safety is a responsibility everyone shares. This course will educate you about the content in a typical electrical safety program and what you can do to improve safety.
