e-Learning Electrical Safe Work Practices

Electrical Safe Work Practices
All persons who install, maintain, repair, or just work near electrical power equipment need electrical safety training. United States labor law spells out safe work practices and employee training requirements. This computer based training provides the information required by OSHA 29CFR1910 Subpart S, as well as other important safety information not required by OSHA.
