What is Arc Flash Awareness Training?

Working around electrical systems comes with serious risks, and arc flash is one of the most dangerous. This course gives learners a practical understanding of how arc flash happens, what warning signs to look for, and how to protect themselves through safe work practices and proper PPE. It also reinforces the basics of electrical shock prevention and explains how to create electrically safe conditions before any task begins. By the end, participants will feel more confident recognizing electrical hazards and applying the safety steps needed to prevent life-altering injuries.

Course Overview

Electricity is essential in modern life, but it can be deadly if mishandled. Arc Flash Safety Training provides employees with the knowledge needed to recognize, avoid, and protect themselves from the severe hazards of electrical energy.

This course explains what arc flash is, why it occurs, and how to prevent it through proper procedures and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). It also covers the risks of electrical shock—another leading cause of workplace injuries—and how to create electrically safe working conditions.

By the end of this course, learners will understand how to identify arc flash risks, follow OSHA and NFPA 70E safety practices, and apply proper protective measures to avoid injury and maintain a safe work environment.
