Course description
This five-day program is used regularly by industrial plants and industries utilizing cross-training to increase productivity, effectiveness and flexibility in their workforce. It also provides an excellent foundation in electrical maintenance and troubleshooting for workers entering apprenticeship programs, leapfrogging them several years ahead in their knowledge, skills and abilities.
The successful student will receive a solid understanding of low voltage single and three phase electrical systems. The program places maximum emphasis on safe work practices and procedures, installation requirements, troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. This program saved one client a year of OJT with increases in safety, quality and productivity.
CSA Z462 and NFPA 70E require that non-electrical supervisors managing electrical crews be qualified to understand the safety, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting tasks that electrical workers perform daily. It includes a complete understanding of the requirements of CSA Z462-24 and NFPA 70E.
Upcoming start dates
Who should attend?
Who should attend: Millwrights, mechanics, and other trades whose jobs require a certain amount of cross training in industrial electrical systems as they work with their electrical counterparts as well as non-electrical supervisors who must know what their electrical subordinates are exposed to.
