2. OSHA Electrical Requirements - CFR 1910 Subpart S., Below 600 Volts

You will be exposed to the basic tenets of the OSHA electrical requirements, including a checklist that you will take back, similar to those used by OSHA compliance officers. You'll also take away details of how to recognize and handle below 600 V electrical hazards and how to apply to real world applications. Case studies with proven applications to electrical hazards are explained. Details include OSHA requirements for wiring methods, grounding, overcurrent protection, identification requirements and hazardous locations.
