NFPA 70E Program & Qualified Person Training

An electrical safety program only works if it is written for your site and your crews know it. AAAT3 writes and audits NFPA 70E programs and trains qualified and unqualified workers, so your program holds up in the field and in an audit.

  • Written NFPA 70E program
  • Qualified person training
  • Unqualified worker awareness
  • Arc flash PPE
  • Program audits

How it works

From gap check to a working program

Assess

Current program, gear and training.

Write

Program and procedures updated.

Train

Qualified and awareness training.

Equip

PPE and meters checked.

Audit

Field and program audits.

Improve

Fixes tracked to closure.

Rule of thumb: if a qualified worker cannot explain the arc flash boundary for the gear in front of them, the training did not work.

FAQ

Common questions

How often must qualified workers be retrained?

NFPA 70E requires retraining at intervals not to exceed 3 years, and sooner if audits or job changes show a need.

How often must the program be audited?

The overall program must be audited at least every 3 years, and field work must be audited at least once a year.

What is a qualified person?

Someone with the skills and knowledge for the equipment and work, who has had safety training to identify and avoid the hazards involved.

Do non-electrical workers need training?

Yes. Unqualified workers need training on the hazards and on staying outside the boundaries. Most electrical fatality victims are not in electrical jobs.

Can AAAT3 train our crews?

Yes. We provide qualified person and awareness training with field evaluation and records.
