The need to constantly maintain, repair and upgrade electrical equipment means that employees will sometimes be in close vicinity to electricity and therefore exposed to some risk. This interactive online course covers the dangers of an arc flash and the effects of different current flows on the body. It describes the importance of a lockout tagout program and the goal of the NFPA 70E standard.
