This course provides an initial look at the 2024 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

The NFPA created the 70E Standard to satisfy Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations for safely working with and around electricity. The NFPA 70E is not an OSHA publication, but it fulfills applicable OSHA requirements.

The 2024 NFPA 70E and this course are also consistent with NFPA requirements from the 2023 NFPA 70 National Electrical Code. All lesson material is approved by the Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licenses.

After finishing this course, licensees will be able to:

  • Describe the purpose, scope, and arrangement of the 2024 NFPA 70E.
  • Understand how the 2024 NFPA 70E Standard applies to general electrical installations, electrical maintenance, and work on special electrical equipment.
  • Explain the difference between mandatory rules, permissive rules, and explanatory materials in 70E.
