Product Details
Description
This comprehensive construction electrical safety training covers all requirements under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K. Electricity is one of the most common and serious hazards on construction sites—electrocution is one of the “Fatal Four” leading causes of death, accounting for approximately 8.5% of all construction worker fatalities each year.
Electrical hazards are often invisible. Unlike falling objects or heavy machinery, you cannot see the danger until contact is made. A circuit that looks dead may still be energized. This course provides the critical knowledge to recognize electrical hazards, understand GFCI and grounding requirements, implement lockout/tagout procedures, and work safely around electrical systems on construction sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does construction electrical safety training take?
This comprehensive online construction electrical safety certification takes approximately 2 hours to complete, including the final exam. You can work at your own pace and pause/resume as needed.
What score do I need to pass?
You must achieve a minimum score of 70% on the final assessment. You have up to 3 attempts to pass.
What is the minimum working space required in front of electrical equipment?
For equipment operating at 600 volts or less, the minimum working space is 30 inches wide with 6 feet 3 inches headroom. Clearance depth varies by voltage and conditions per Table K-1 (3-4 feet for 0-600V).
When are GFCIs required on construction sites?
All 120-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacle outlets on construction sites that are not part of the permanent wiring must have approved GFCIs for personnel protection. GFCIs detect a 5 milliamp imbalance and trip in approximately 1/40th of a second.
What is the alternative to GFCIs?
Employers may implement an Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Program instead of GFCIs. This requires a written program, competent person designation, daily visual inspections, and testing every 3 months (6 months for fixed equipment not exposed to damage).
At what voltage must live parts be guarded?
Live parts of electrical equipment operating at 50 volts or more must be guarded against accidental contact by cabinets, enclosures, location in restricted rooms, partitions/screens, elevated platforms, or elevation of 8 feet or more.
What are the clearance requirements for overhead conductors?
Open conductors require: 10 feet above finished grade/sidewalks, 12 feet over vehicular traffic areas, 15 feet over truck traffic areas, and 18 feet over public streets, alleys, roads, and driveways.
What are the three classes of hazardous locations?
Class I locations contain flammable gases or vapors. Class II locations contain combustible dusts (grain, coal, metal powders). Class III locations contain ignitable fibers or flyings (cotton, sawdust, woodchips). Each class has Division 1 (normally hazardous) and Division 2 (abnormally hazardous) designations.
