LOW VOLTAGE QUALIFIED
Based on the CSA Z462-21 Standard and Canadian OH&S regulations
Class Overview
Our low voltage qualified course focuses on electrical safety training for employees who work on 600V and below. This CSA Z462-21 based course goes beyond the theoretical to provide attendees with the understanding of the rules and regulations relating to electrical and arc flash safety and how to apply them in real-world situations.
Based on the CSA Z462-21, this course helps you and your employees stay compliant with the authority having Jurisdiction (provincial OH&S/ WorkSafe) and provides updates from the 2018 CSA Z462 to the 2021 version.

Attendees of our Low Voltage training class will learn the following information:
- Practical compliance with CSA Z462-21 electrical safety in the workplace
- How to do table-based hazard assessments using CSA Z462-21
- How to choose Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) based on the CSA Z462-21 tables.
- Differences between the CEC, CAN/UL S801, CSA Z462-21, Federal OH&S & Provincial OH&S standards
- PPE do’s and don’ts for workers exposed to shock and electric arc hazards
- Standards to use in clothing and PPE selection.
- Explanations of arc ratings ATPV and EBT, and how they apply
