Understanding NFPA 70E: Electrical Safety Programs In Industrial Environments

Electrical hazards remain a persistent risk in industrial environments, with contact with electricity responsible for over 2,000 workplace fatalities in recent years and thousands of injuries globally (Electrical Safety Foundation International; OSHA data). This course breaks down what NFPA 70E requires and how to apply it in the real world. Employees learn how to build an electrical safety program, establish electrically safe work conditions, and implement procedures that reduce exposure before work begins. The focus is practical: define risk clearly, control it consistently, and ensure your safety program holds up under operational pressure.
