Feedback on the course noted the quality of the instruction and content as excellent. “As a licensed electrical contractor, I found the information quite useful,” reported one participant, “and I realize I’ve dodged a bullet over the years.”  

Taught by Vice President of Technical Training & Support Joe Gierlach, each 8-hour day covered vital safety content including safety-related maintenance and electrically safe work practices as outlined by NFPA 70E, the Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. 

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that employees working around energized equipment require training in safe work practices. TEGG contractors can contact Empower Training Services to discuss offering on-site or virtual safety trainings for their clients and customers.
