AFTERNOON SESSION (1-3:30 PM)

Students will apply safe work practices to:

• Identify correct safe work distances for shock and arc flash protection
• Select appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for each energized work situation
• Determine need for and select appropriate voltage rated tools and test equipment when working on or near energized electrical equipment
