Burn Up the Myth: Operating Breakers

|
| What does it take to be “qualified“? |
|
Our trainers are often asked the question, “Will my electricians be Qualified if they attend e-Hazard’s Low Voltage Qualified course?”
Answer: They may become qualified if they attend the course. According to OSHA and NFPA 70E® they need the following to be considered “qualified”.
- They need to demonstrate they have the skills to do the work they are to do.
- They need to demonstrate they have the knowledge to do the work they are to do.
- They need to have received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
