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.
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.
Any worker who performs tasks on or near energized electrical equipment must complete CSA-compliant electrical safety training—even if they aren’t electricians. This includes maintenance personnel, technicians, operators, and other tradespeople exposed to electrical hazards.
If you work around energized systems, you need to understand arc flash boundaries, required PPE, and safe work practices outlined in CSA Z462 and applicable provincial OHS laws.
Our online certification course helps you meet those legal and safety requirements across Canada.
Yes. Our training meets or exceeds the knowledge component requirements outlined in CSA Z462 – Workplace Electrical Safety, which is Canada’s recognized standard for protecting workers from electrical hazards, including shock and arc flash.
CSA Z462 is referenced in occupational health and safety legislation across Canada and aligns closely with the Canadian Electrical Code and other provincial or territorial requirements.
This course provides the foundational training employers are required to deliver under OHS law and includes a certificate of completion for documentation and due diligence purposes.
Yes. CSA Z462 requires electrical safety training to be refreshed at least every 3 years — or sooner if:
-
⚠️ You take on new electrical responsibilities
-
🚨 An electrical safety incident occurs
-
📘 CSA standards or company procedures are updated
-
🧑🏭 You demonstrate unsafe work practices or knowledge gaps
Some employers choose to refresh training more frequently as part of their internal safety programs or due diligence process.
Yes. Canadian employers are required under provincial and federal occupational health and safety regulations to provide electrical safety training to workers exposed to electrical hazards.
This includes hazard identification, safe work practices, appropriate use of PPE, and understanding of arc flash risks.
Our course helps employers meet due diligence obligations and aligns with the best practices outlined in CSA Z462, Canada’s recognized standard for electrical safety in the workplace.
