This program provides electrical workers with an understanding of the requirements of the 2024 NFPA® 70E® that relate
to the safe performance of electrical work. It explains the dual hazards of electric shock and arc flash as well as the
factors that contribute to the severity of injury. Electrical workers will also learn the conditions that require an
electrically safe work condition to be established as well as the step-by-step process of creating and verifying an
electrically safe work condition.
After viewing this program, electrical workers will have an understanding of the incident energy associated with an arc
flash and how this is used to establish the Arc Flash Boundary distance and select proper arc-rated clothing and PPE. The
importance of wearing arc-rated clothing is visually demonstrated by example and the viewer will learn that flammable
clothing such as polyester will worsen any burn injury.
