NFPA 70E and NFPA 70B Training

Why NFPA Training Matters 

Compliance isn't optional, and neither is the safety of your people. Investing in structured electrical safety training and electrical maintenance training delivers measurable returns across your organization: 

• Reduces arc flash and shock hazards that threaten worker safety 

• Supports compliance with NFPA 70E and NFPA 70B standards, as well as OSHA requirements 

• Enhances equipment reliability and extends the service life of critical assets 

• Minimizes unplanned outages and the costs associated with downtime 

• Builds a qualified workforce capable of identifying and controlling electrical risks 

• Strengthens your safety culture with consistent, standards-based practices 

NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace 

NFPA 70E establishes the requirements for safe work practices to protect personnel from the hazards of arc flash, arc blast, and electrical shock. Understanding and applying this standard is essential for any organization whose employees work on or near energized electrical systems.
