This course provides attendees with detailed training about electrical safety in the workplace as covered in the 2026 edition of NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. NFPA 70E applies to both employers and employees, making compliance a shared responsibility. This training looks at key objectives in the standard and how they relate to the OSHA Regulations. More specifically, this program will help attendees understand the essentials related to properly applying the 70E Standard and review the recent revisions to the 2024 Edition.
