Training Course Syllabus:
2012 NFPA 70E/ Arc Flash Electrical Safety
with Introduction to Arc Flash Analysis - Industrial Training
3 day Lecture
The following sub-components are available:
2012 NFPA 70E/ Arc Flash Electrical Safety
A good option to add to our essential two-day NFPA 70E/Arc Flash Electrical
Safety course is this additional third-day course: Introduction to Arc Flash
Analysis. An arc flash is a pressure wave caused by the rapid expansion of gases
and conducting material with high flying molten materials and shrapnel. Due to
the extreme hazards of arc flashes while working near energized equipment,
electrical safety is critical. This third day teaches the fundamentals of
electrical safety as it pertains to NFPA 70E standards, including the 2012
updates. OSHA’s mandated training requirements apply to employees who face a
risk of electric shock that is not reduced to a safe level by the electrical
installation requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.303 through 1910.308. Electrical
safety training empowers workers to perform their jobs safely.

Agenda
This course also includes the agenda for initial two-day NFPA 70E / Arc Flash
Electrical Safety course.
NTT recommends bringing your laptop for the third day, this would be helpful,
but not a requirement.
