CESCP Exam Training

Every year, around 400 workers die, 2,000 hospitalized, & a total of 7,000 burn injuries reported at U.S workplace due to arch flash accidents. That’s all because of electrically unsafe working conditions.

The good news is we can prevent electrical injuries, accidents & deaths & associated financial losses by complying to NFPA 70 E standard.

One of the way to ensure prevention is to train the maximum number of professionals to deliver the standard.

Here comes the electrical safety manager training program.

Introduction of the course:

This electrifying & highly interactive course is designed to provide participants invaluable tools, tips & resources to successfully identify & eliminate & mitigate electrical risks at workplace in the light of NFPA 70 E -2021 standard.

The course employes latest training techniques such as group discussions, videos, animation , quizzes, mock test & will prepare participants to develop system & procedures in compliance of OSHA 1910 subpart S & 1926 K.

Most importantly, this course will prepare participants to successfully write & pas NFPA certification exams such CESCP, CESW & CEST ( subject to meeting NFPA eligibility requirements )

After attending this course, participants will be able to

• Apply requirements stipulated in NFPA 70 E- 2021 to ensure electrically safe working conditions.
