Electrical Safety – Arc Flash & Shock Based on Z-462-24

Arc flash and Shock Safety is designed to educate electricians on proper safety measures and procedures to prevent accident or injury caused by arc flash and electrical shock. Participants will learn about the dangers and causes of arc flash and electrical shock, the types of personal protective equipment (PPE) required, and how to properly use and maintain PPE.

This course will cover Canadian regulations and standards related to arc flash and shock safety, as well as best practices for working safely on electrical equipment. Following course completion, participants will have the knowledge to keep themselves and their colleagues safe, while working with electrical equipment.

Solar Photovoltaic Installation and Maintenance Training for Construction Electricians

The Construction Electrician (NOC 7241) Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems Certified (PVSC) Personnel Certification has been developed by CSA Group in conjunction with the National Electrical Trade Council (NETCO) and industry stakeholders to provide assurance that an individual possesses the competencies deemed necessary to perform the job function of a Solar Photovoltaic Systems Certified electrician.

This certification has been developed in compliance with the ISO 17024 standard. ISO 17024 is the global benchmark for organizations operating personnel certification programs and outlines the methods and procedures required to ensure the objective and unbiased assessment of a candidate’s knowledge, skills, and abilities. Passing the PVSC examination will indicate that the candidate possesses the knowledge, skills, and decision-making abilities necessary to practice the proper techniques to pre-plan, implement, configure, install, commission, troubleshoot and maintain solar PV systems.
