Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) – Electrical Safety & Compliance Training
Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) – Electrical Safety & Compliance Training is a comprehensive, OSHA- and NFPA 70E–aligned course designed to prepare workers to safely perform tasks on or near energized electrical systems. This training provides the knowledge required to meet employer-defined “Qualified Worker” criteria and gives participants a deep understanding of electrical hazards, risk assessment procedures, and safe work practices used across general industry.
Throughout the course, workers learn how shock, arc flash, and arc blast hazards occur, how to apply NFPA 70E boundaries, and how to select the correct levels of arc-rated PPE. The program also covers Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, establishing electrically safe work conditions, and proper use of electrical test instruments.
With practical examples, real incident case studies, and updated 2024 NFPA 70E requirements, this course ensures participants gain the competence required to work safely, reduce risk exposure, and comply with OSHA and employer safety standards. Whether you're becoming a Qualified Electrical Worker for the first time or renewing your training, this course provides everything needed for electrical safety compliance and hazard control.
