New electrical safety requirements are easy to miss, and not knowing them won’t protect you. Our one-day training closes the gap so that you run your plant knowing you're compliant and everyone goes home safe.

THE PROBLEM

If OSHA asks, can you show how your team was trained?

You’re running a plant, managing people, and keeping production moving. At the same time, you can be held accountable for answering these electrical safety questions:

Is your team’s training current?
Do you have a documented electrical safety program?
Can you produce records showing who was trained, when, and on what?

You deserve clear guidance before an OSHA investigation puts the spotlight on you and your team.

Where OSHA and NFPA 70E Connect

OSHA enforces its own electrical safety regulations and recognizes NFPA 70E as a primary industry consensus standard. OSHA investigators routinely use NFPA 70E to support citations and evaluate whether an employer took reasonable protective measures.

An injury is serious enough. Missing answers, training records, or a documented program can leave additional gaps exposed during an investigation.

Lubbock Electric’s NFPA 70E training is a full-day, expert-led session that turns the standard into plain language and practical action. You’ll learn what’s required, what’s new in the 2027 edition, and how to keep your people safe.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Required for ANYONE who works near live equipment.

If your role puts you on, near, or responsible for energized electrical equipment, NFPA 70E requires this training at least once every 3 years.

Electricians & Technicians

who install, maintain, or troubleshoot energized equipment on the job.

Plant & Maintenance Managers

responsible for maintaining a compliant, injury-free facility.

Safety, EHS, & Engineering Staff

who support risk assessments, PPE programs, and documentation for compliance audits.

WHY NOW?

Because the responsibility for electrical safety in your plant lands on you.

Sending your people to this training isn’t a line item. It’s the most direct way to protect your crew, your plant, and your name.

Four reasons:

Your people are required to be trained. NFPA 70E expects workers exposed to electrical hazards to be trained and retrained at least every three years. If your team’s training has lapsed, that’s a gap you can close in a day.
The standards have evolved, and you may not have. The 2027 edition of NFPA 70E brings changes to energized work practices, testing for an electrically safe work condition, PPE, and more. NFPA 70B now mandates a documented electrical maintenance program.
Documentation is your defense. When someone asks to see your training records, a Certificate of Completion on file is a far better answer than a shrug.
Trained people protect each other. An informed crew spots hazards earlier, chooses the right PPE, and speaks up before a bad day becomes a worse one.

What's at risk if you wait?

A person on your crew gets hurt. Arc flash and shock injuries change lives and career trajectories.
An OSHA investigation starts. Investigators will ask what you knew and what you did about it.
Production stops. Unplanned downtime costs more than a day of training.
Your name is on the report. And “I wasn’t aware” isn’t the answer you want to give.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Quick Answers

Who is this training for?

Anyone responsible for, or working near, energized electrical equipment, including managers, electricians, technicians, and EHS staff.

How often do we need to retrain?

NFPA 70E mandates retraining at least every three years, and when conditions or the standard change. OSHA compliance officers look to NFPA 70E as a recognized industry practice and benchmark and use NFPA 70E to support citations under the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act.
