Why This Training Matters
Arc flash incidents are among the most devastating hazards in electrical work — capable of producing temperatures four times hotter than the surface of the sun, with explosive force that can cause severe burns, blindness, hearing loss, and fatalities in a fraction of a second. OSHA requires employers to train workers on electrical hazards, and NFPA 70E is the industry standard for electrical safety in the workplace. Whether you work in industrial, commercial, or utility environments, understanding arc flash risks isn't just a compliance requirement — it could save your life or the life of a colleague.
About This Course
Join us for a comprehensive, full-day NFPA 70E Arc Flash Training & Certification course, co-presented with Universal Academy. This hands-on, instructor-led training is designed for electricians, maintenance personnel, engineers, supervisors, and anyone who works on or near energized electrical equipment.
Participants will gain a thorough understanding of electrical hazard recognition, safe work practices, and the standards that govern electrical safety — leaving fully prepared to work confidently and compliantly in arc flash environments.
Topics covered include:
- NFPA 70E standards and OSHA requirements
- Arc flash hazard identification and risk assessment
- Incident energy analysis and arc flash boundaries
- Proper selection and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Continuing Education Policies
Below are policies that govern EAP’s Continuing Education Programs.
Cancellation & Refunds
Webinars: Cancellations must be made, in writing, within 24-hours of the class start time to obtain a refund. If cancellation is submitted with less than 24-hour notice, the student will receive a credit to be applied to a future webinar within a 12-month period. If this credit is not used prior to the end of the 12-month period, student forfeits registration. Students may also transfer registration to another staff member at the same company. No shows will not receive a refund.
In-Person: These classes are held based on projected attendance, therefore once a student registers, there are no refunds. However, there are a few exceptions to this policy. If an extreme circumstance arises for the student, such as a death in the immediate family, severe illness, etc., a refund may be granted. A decision will be made on a case-by-case basis by EAP’s Executive Director. EAP will allow a company to substitute a student (i.e., change the registrant to someone else in the company) without penalty.
Cancellation, transfer, and refund requests should be submitted to us via email at electric@eap.org.
Student Conduct Policy
The Electrical Association of Philadelphia is committed to upholding the highest standards in continuing education. To maintain the integrity of our CEU/PDH offerings, students must be fully present and actively engaged throughout the webinar. Participation while driving, walking, working on a job site, or conducting other business is strictly prohibited. Any violation of this policy will result in the forfeiture of all CEUs/PDHs for the session and no refunds will be provided.
