About this course
Arc Flash and Electrical Safety gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of arc flash hazards and incident energy analysis, then builds the skills to apply PPE and labelling, safe work practices and electrical safety programmes in real work. Electrical, control and instrumentation courses covering protection, automation, hazardous areas and the connected plant. One of our most requested courses.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Electrical, instrumentation and control engineers, technicians and supervisors. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
