Boston Safety Training provides On-site electrical safety training for Qualified and Unqualified Electrical Workers. Training meets most of the requirements of OSHA 1910 subpart S 331-335 and the NFPA 70E Consensus Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, employers have further obligations based on site specifics.

Training is executed through the use of powerpoint slides, material brought into the class such as PPE and electrical equipment. Students are also engaged through the execution of a mock work task involving electrical equipment and other props where the students assist with a pre job brief, risk assessment, select the appropriate PPE for the task and then the instructor executes the task. This approach is very interactive and helps with the retention of the material presented. A written exam is administered and all who pass receive a certificate of completion.

If you only have a small staff requiring qualification, an onsite class may not make sense for your business, Boston Safety Training is also holding many regional classes which are posted here, or email: dean@bostonsafetytraining.com
