The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 70E for Qualified Persons course from ClickSafety is a certificate of completion training designed for electrical workers and electrical technicians seeking employer authorization as a qualified person. A qualified person is “one who has demonstrated skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training to identify and avoid the hazards involved.”

This NFPA 70E for Qualified Persons course is designed to be followed with equipment-specific on-the-job training and supervision prior to entry into work as a designated qualified person.

    • Informative Annex S – Assessing the Condition of Maintenance. This is a new informative annex that provides guidance to assist qualified workers to identify information that is useful when assessing the condition of maintenance of electrical equipment.
    • Hazard thresholds for capacitor stored energy values have been revised.
    • A major revision was made to Arc Flash PPE categories for DC.
    • An emergency response plan has been added to the list of required information for the job safety planning.
