E – 1443 OSHA: Ground-Fault Protection on Construction Sites
$25.00
Courses Included
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) electrical standard for construction contains requirements for ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and for assured equipment grounding conductor programs. These requirements help reduce the number of injuries and accidents from electrical hazards. This course is intended to help employers and employees responsible for electrical equipment to provide protection against 120-volt electrical hazards on the construction site—the most common being ground-fault electrical shock—through the use of GFCIs or through the assured equipment grounding conductor program.
This course is based on the OSHA document, “Ground-Fault Protection on Construction Sites,” OSHA 3007, 1998.
