High Voltage Electrical Safety for Power GTD - 29 CFR 1910.269 Seminar

Presented by TPC Trainco

The purpose of the course is to provide the student with the knowledge and understanding of safe electrical work practices and procedures, especially as it relates to power generation, transmission and distribution systems

Course Description

The purpose of the course is to provide the student with the knowledge and understanding of safe electrical work practices and procedures, especially as it relates to power generation, transmission and distribution systems. This training can be used as part of your initial OSHA required electrical safety training or the course might be used for the OSHA required annual employee refresher training.

Electric utility work requires special knowledge and skills. OSHA requires employees working in this area to be trained in the safety-related work practices, safety procedures, and other personnel safety requirements outlined in OSHA Requirement 29 CFR 1910.269. The standard covers all electric power GTD operations, whether owned by a utility or not.

Who should take this course?

All qualified personnel performing operations or maintenance work, or who have access to electric power GTD installations including those with responsibility for:

• Inspections
• Switching-connection and disconnection
• General line and equipment maintenance
• Testing and fault location

Including:

• High voltage electricians
• Substation mechanics
• Line foremen
• System operators
• Apprentices
• Linemen
• Anyone else responsible for GTD at your facility or place of work

Course Outline / Agenda

Designed specifically for personnel working with high voltage electrical lines and equipment, this course starts with general electrical safety requirements and practices and moves its way towards specific situations when dealing with overhead lines, substations, underground electrical installations, and power generators.

As with all safety related concerns, it is the responsibility of the employer to provide continual reinforcement for their employees by providing ample opportunities for training and then ensuring that employees actually use the practices and procedures they have learned. This is most frequently accomplished through a formal safety program designed by the employer. While this course can be an important part of your complete safety program, please check with the appropriate regulatory agencies to make sure your program meets all requirements.

Together, we can create a better, safer and more efficient maintenance workforce!
