How Electrical Safety Training from ESS Supports NFPA 70E Compliance

ESS, a leader in electrical safety training, offers comprehensive programs designed to help companies meet NFPA 70E standards and protect employees from potentially life-threatening electrical hazards. OSHA recognizes NFPA 70E as the industry benchmark, making proper training not just best practice, but a legal requirement. ESS’s expertise ensures that companies stay safe, compliant, and prepared for the challenges of working with or around electrical systems.
Training for Every Employee Role
NFPA 70E requires employers to train both Qualified Persons and Unqualified Workers:
- Qualified Persons are employees who are authorized and trained to work directly on electrical equipment. ESS training equips them with the knowledge and skills to safely handle energized systems, recognize arc flash hazards, select and use proper personal protective equipment (PPE), follow lockout/tagout procedures, and respond effectively in emergencies.
- Unqualified Workers may not perform electrical work directly, but still need awareness training to recognize potential hazards and maintain safe distances from energized equipment. ESS ensures these employees know what to do in emergency situations and how to avoid electrical risks in their daily work environment.
By providing electrical safety training for both groups, ESS ensures a safe workplace for all employees and helps businesses close compliance gaps that could put workers or the company at risk.
