Ground Fault Protection for Construction

Ground Fault Protection for Construction provides a comprehensive overview of electrical safety in construction environments, where temporary power systems and outdoor exposure create heightened risks. This course focuses on understanding Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs), Equipment Grounding Conductor (EGC) programs, and OSHA-required methods to protect workers from electrocution.

Designed for construction and telecom crews, this training ensures compliance and promotes awareness of proper setup, testing, and maintenance of electrical systems in the field.

Who Should Attend

• Construction and telecom field workers
• Site electricians and technicians
• Jobsite safety managers
• Project supervisors and crew leaders
• Anyone working with temporary power setups or portable tools
