Overview and Purpose
This course is designed to present the general theory, guidelines, and practices to be used in planning and implementing NFPA 70E.  Bringing a facility from minimal compliance to becoming fully compliant is covered in careful detail.  Recent changes in the 2009 NFPA 70E have new requirements for anyone working on or near electrical distribution equipment.  It will cover steps from the earliest phases of preparation up through monitoring compliance after the program has been fully implemented.  The course will also demonstrate how to minimize the impact to ongoing operations. 

This course is vital for anyone who manages EH&S, Production, Engineering, and Maintenance Managers.
