Electrical Safety Training and Certification
According to NFPA 70E and CSA Z462, refresher training must be completed at least every three years, or more often if:
-
New electrical equipment or hazards are introduced
-
A worker’s responsibilities change
-
A worker demonstrates a lack of knowledge or fails to follow safety procedures
Employers are required to follow this 3-year training requirement to stay compliant and ensure their workers stay safe.
Yes. OSHA requires employers to train workers who may face electrical hazards on the job. Training must cover hazard identification, safe work practices, and required protective measures.
This course supports compliance with OSHA’s electrical safety standards and aligns with industry best practices like NFPA 70E and CSA Z462.
Electrical safety training helps workers recognize and avoid common electrical hazards in the workplace. It covers hazard awareness, safe work practices, and regulatory responsibilities — with a focus on preventing electric shock, burns, and other injuries caused by energized equipment or circuits.
This course is ideal for anyone who may be exposed to electrical hazards during their work, even if they are not performing electrical tasks directly.

-
29 CFR 1910.332 – Training requirements for employees exposed to electrical hazards
It also aligns with NFPA 70E and CSA Z462, which are recognized standards for electrical safety best practices.
Our course covers the foundational training employers need to provide, and offers a certificate of completion for due diligence tracking.
Any worker who performs tasks on or near energized electrical equipment requires NFPA and OSHA-compliant electrical safety training— even if they aren’t electricians. This includes maintenance personnel, technicians, equipment operators, and other tradespeople.
If you work around energized equipment, you’re required to understand the risks, boundaries, PPE, and procedures outlined in electrical safety standards like NFPA 70E and OSHA 1910 Subpart S.
Our online certification course helps you meet those requirements.
