NFPA 70E Arc Flash Training — High & Low Voltage

Overview

Instructor-led electrical safety training delivered at your facility, built on NFPA 70E and OSHA's electrical safe work practices — covering both high-voltage and low-voltage work, and updated for the 2027 edition of NFPA 70E. Every course combines classroom instruction on shock and arc flash hazards, approach and arc flash boundaries, and arc-rated PPE selection — plus task-specific qualification mapping and the 2027 emergency-response expectations for standby personnel — with a competency quiz and training records for each worker. Courses are available in English and Spanish. Software is optional; you do not need to purchase Atlas AI or Arc Pro to request training.

Training develops worker knowledge and safe work practices; it is not an equipment-specific arc flash study. Employers remain responsible for determining qualified-person status for each task and equipment type from demonstrated skills and knowledge. Software and course completion do not replace that determination.

Updated for the 2027 Edition of NFPA 70E

The 2027 edition raises the bar on who does energized work, who stands by when they do, and how "de-energized" gets verified. Our curriculum already covers all three changes — so your next training cycle brings your crew up to the current standard, not the last one.

What the Course Covers

NFPA 70E spells out what electrical safety training must include — hazard recognition, approach boundaries, and PPE selection. Our course delivers all three, for both high-voltage and low-voltage work, in one visit.

How Every Course Runs

Built for the workers you actually have — qualified electricians, maintenance techs, and the unqualified workers who need to know where they can't go.

Retraining is required at least every three years — and the 2027 edition makes this cycle count. NFPA 70E requires qualified persons to be retrained at intervals not exceeding three years — and sooner when work practices change, new equipment is introduced, or inspections show a worker isn't following safe electrical work practices. If your crew was last trained in 2024 or earlier, their retraining window lands right on a major standard update: the new staffing, qualification, and verification rules make this the cycle to get current. We can put your crew on a recurring schedule so requalification never lapses.

Qualified and Unqualified Workers Both Need Training

It's not just your electricians. OSHA's electrical safe work practices apply to anyone who works on, near, or around energized equipment — maintenance techs resetting a breaker, operators opening a control cabinet, or contractors near your switchgear. Qualified workers need the full hazard, boundary, and PPE training; unqualified workers need to know the boundaries they must never cross. Our course covers both groups, for both high-voltage and low-voltage equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Who needs NFPA 70E arc flash training?

Anyone who works on or near energized electrical equipment — electricians, maintenance technicians, operators who open control cabinets, and even unqualified workers who need to understand the approach boundaries they can't cross. OSHA's electrical safe work practices (29 CFR 1910.331-335) require training for both qualified and unqualified persons, and NFPA 70E is the consensus standard OSHA looks to for how that training is done.

Does the course cover both high voltage and low voltage?

Yes. One program covers low-voltage work — 480V panels, control cabinets, disconnects — and high-voltage awareness for switchgear and distribution equipment. Boundaries, PPE categories, and safe work practices differ between the two, and the course makes those differences concrete using the equipment your crew actually works on.

Is arc flash training an OSHA requirement or just NFPA 70E?

OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.331-335 requires employers to train workers on electrical safe work practices and protect them from shock and arc flash hazards, but it doesn't spell out the 'how.' NFPA 70E is the voluntary consensus standard most employers use to build that training, and OSHA has referenced it when evaluating electrical safety programs. Training built on NFPA 70E is a strong foundation for meeting OSHA's electrical training requirements — though compliance ultimately depends on your overall program and work practices, not any single course.

What changed in the 2027 edition of NFPA 70E?

Three updates matter most for training. First, qualification is task-specific — Section 110.4(A)(1)(b) expects employers to document which specific equipment and tasks each worker is qualified for, not just issue a generic certificate. Second, high-risk energized work now calls for an additional standby person with emergency-response training — contact release, summoning help, and CPR/first-aid coordination — who doesn't have to be a qualified electrical worker. Third, verification guidance was updated for current-transformer secondaries and series circuits, where absence-of-voltage testing alone isn't sufficient. Our curriculum covers all three, and our Arc Pro software includes the updated Energized Electrical Work Permit with standby-person sign-off.

How often is retraining required?

NFPA 70E 110.6 requires retraining at intervals not to exceed three years — and sooner when inspections indicate a worker isn't complying with safe work practices, when new equipment or procedures are introduced, or when a worker must use unfamiliar work methods. We can put your team on a recurring schedule so requalification never lapses.

Do you cover PPE selection and arc flash labels?

Yes. The course walks through PPE categories 1-4, arc-rated clothing, suits, hoods, face shields, and voltage-rated gloves — and teaches workers to read the arc flash warning labels on your own equipment so they can match PPE to the incident energy at each panel or switchgear location.

What do workers receive at the end of the course?

Every worker completes a competency quiz after the classroom session, and successful workers receive documented training records. Atlas AI is available as an optional tool to organize those records and track retraining dates; a software purchase is not required for training. Training records support — but don't by themselves establish — 'qualified person' status: OSHA and NFPA 70E leave that determination to the employer based on each worker's demonstrated skills and knowledge for the specific equipment and tasks. Our course gives you the training and documentation foundation that determination is built on.
