It offers cost-effective, high-caliber, impactful, and accredited electrical safety training, refresher courses, and awareness programs. The ESTS utilizes 3D graphics, videos, and voice-over content to deliver comprehensive information about arc flash and shock hazards, strategies for protection, and the implementation of preventive and control measures. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A key feature of the ESTS &#8211; USA is its 3D virtual electrical workplace environment, which allows participants to test their newly acquired knowledge in interactive scenarios about arc flash, shock, and the application of the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The ESTS &#8211; USA course was designed by a leading electrical safety domain expert with over two decades of experience as an electrical engineer. The course developer also holds a prominent position as the first Vice-Chair of the CSA Z462 Workplace Electrical Safety Technical Committee and is a CSA Z462 voting member and leader of Working Group 8 annexes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"title-bar\">  <span style=\"font-size: 18.0px;float: none\">    <b>COURSE TOPICS<\/b><\/span>  <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Plan-Do-Check-Act process<\/li>\n<li>OSHA regulations, NFPA 70E, and safe work practices<\/li>\n<li>Electrical work tasks<\/li>\n<li>The resource toolbox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>OSHA Regulations, Standards, and Best Practices<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>OSHA regulations<\/li>\n<li>Consensus based standards<\/li>\n<li>The National Electrical Code<\/li>\n<li>Roles and responsibilities<\/li>\n<li>Employers<\/li>\n<li>Employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Understanding Electricity in the Workplace<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction to working with electricity<\/li>\n<li>Electrical hazards<\/li>\n<li>Shock<\/li>\n<li>Arc flash and arc blast<\/li>\n<li>Working with electricity<\/li>\n<li>Qualified and unqualified persons<\/li>\n<li>Approach boundaries<\/li>\n<li>Overhead power lines and limits of approach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Electrical Hazards: Understanding the Danger<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Effects of electricity<\/li>\n<li>Case histories\/testimonials<\/li>\n<li>Electric shock<\/li>\n<li>Effects of shock<\/li>\n<li>Step and touch potential<\/li>\n<li>Short and long term effects of repeated shocks<\/li>\n<li>Reporting shocks<\/li>\n<li>Case histories\/testimonials<\/li>\n<li>How the industry has improved<\/li>\n<li>Effects of arc flash and blast<\/li>\n<li>Primary effects<\/li>\n<li>Secondary effects<\/li>\n<li>The aftermath<\/li>\n<li>Normal vs. abnormal conditions<\/li>\n<li>Message to all workers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Electrical Hazard Analysis<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction to electrical hazard analysis<\/li>\n<li>Risk assessments<\/li>\n<li>Determining work tasks and risk<\/li>\n<li>Importance of single line diagrams<\/li>\n<li>Formal documentation<\/li>\n<li>Work flow process<\/li>\n<li>Electrical hazard analysis<\/li>\n<li>Shock hazard analysis<\/li>\n<li>Arc flash hazard analysis<\/li>\n<li>Method 1: Using engineering calculations<\/li>\n<li>Method 2: Using hazard\/risk categories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Establishing an Electrically Safe Work Condition<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Preventive and protective control measures<\/li>\n<li>De-energizing<\/li>\n<li>Isolation<\/li>\n<li>Lock out and tagging<\/li>\n<li>Temporary protective grounding\/ground truck and test devices<\/li>\n<li>Test-Before-Touch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Engineering and Administrative Controls<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Engineering safety by design<\/li>\n<li>Equipment maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Administration as a control<\/li>\n<li>Safe work practices and procedures<\/li>\n<li>Energized electrical work permit<\/li>\n<li>Arc flash boundary and approach boundaries for shock<\/li>\n<li>Preventive and protective control measures.<\/li>\n<li>Labels and signage<\/li>\n<li>Scenario<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Electrical Specific PPE, Tools, and Equipment<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Selection and Management<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Control using electrical specific PPE, tools, and equipment<\/li>\n<li>Shock protection PPE<\/li>\n<li>Shock protection tools and equipment<\/li>\n<li>Insulated and insulating hand tools<\/li>\n<li>Voltage detectors and digital multi-meters<\/li>\n<li>Temporary protective grounds<\/li>\n<li>Arc flash protection PPE<\/li>\n<li>Other clothing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Selection<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Selection of PPE<\/li>\n<li>Shock protection PPE selection<\/li>\n<li>Arc flash protection PPE selection<\/li>\n<li>Identifying arc rating of clothing<\/li>\n<li>Layering of arc rated clothing<\/li>\n<li>You are as strong as your weakest link<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Management<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n<li>PPE specification<\/li>\n<li>PPE care<\/li>\n<li>Storage<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning and laundering<\/li>\n<li>PPE use<\/li>\n<li>Pre-use inspections<\/li>\n<li>Shared vs. individually issued<\/li>\n<li>Performance management<\/li>\n<li>PPE maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Emergency Response, Incident Reporting, and Program Maintenance<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Emergency response planning<\/li>\n<li>Qualified electrical emergency response personnel<\/li>\n<li>Rescue plans and procedures<\/li>\n<li>Effect of incidents<\/li>\n<li>Incident reporting<\/li>\n<li>Maintaining your electrical safety program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Final Assessment<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Final Assessment &#8211;
