Very emotional and educational at the same time!! ... I was also surprised that a couple of examples of situations that the instructor mentioned during the training are things that actually happened to some of my workers in the past, so you can confirm that these are all real life experiences !!

I am just getting into the field of electricity I know just about enough to make myself dangerous. But after this very informative lesson I know that I was dangerous . After this it is making me think twice about the dangers involved with this line of work and how important PPE is to the job and how much I will be pushing the contractors to make sure they are training there people and using the right PPE.

This is a very engaging and valuable training for anyone working on or near live equipment. The course gives good context for the NFPA 70E Code and how to find the necessary information to work safely.
