Day 1:

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.
