NFPA 70B Pre-Recorded Webinar
 
We know it is tough for our smaller members to break away for a day and come down to IAMU for our workshops.  The 70B information is important and we want to share with all our members, so we created this pre-recorded webinar.
 
Available NOW for viewing again is our NFPA 70B Pre-Recorded Webinar. Please see the brochure for more information and CLICK HERE to register now for the webinar event.
 
Safety is dependent on properly maintained overcurrent protective devices and electrical equipment. Improperly maintained equipment has a higher chance of failure, increasing incident energy, which could increase the risk of injury or death to workers. This is where NFPA 70B, Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance, applies. With the 2023 update, NFPA 70B became a recognized standard instead of a recommended practice, meaning it is now enforceable.
 
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) defines NFPA 70B as a standard that describes preventive maintenance procedures for electrical, electronic, and communication systems and equipment -- such as those used in industrial plants, power plants, institutional and commercial buildings, and large multi-family residential complexes -- to prevent equipment failures and worker injuries.
 
This workshop will cover the 5 main elements of NFPA 70B:
 

• Maintenance scheduling

 

• Equipment condition assessment

 

• Electrical maintenance programs

 

• Preventive maintenance procedures

 

• System study intervals

 
CLICK HERE to get registered for the NFPA 70B Pre-Recorded Webinar today!
 
**Once registered, the Pre-Recorded Webinar will be emailed to you along with a record of attendance.
After completing the webinar, return the record of attendance to [email protected] and you will be sent your certificate of completion for the NFPA 70B.

What work are you doing that puts you within the “minimum approach distance” of high voltage energized electrical equipment? This pre-recorded webinar will teach you safety-related work practices that will allow you to determine the voltage, the minimum approach distances, and protective equipment to prevent an electrocution or arc flash when working near energized electrical equipment.

WHO SHOULD REGISTER?
Anyone putting up signs, Christmas decorations, performing maintenance on equipment, or doing utility locates within OSHA’s distance of 10 feet from energized high voltage electrical equipment. Electric Utilities Staff, Public Works Staff, and Supervisors are also encouraged to attend.
COST:
IAMU Members - $173; Non-IAMU Members - $242

REGISTRATION:
Registration is NOW open. CLICK HERE to get registered for the pre-recorded webinar today!
 
ADDITIONAL NOTES:

• The webinar will be emailed out on February 17th, 2026 at 9:00a.m. along with a record of attendance
• Once completed, return the record of attendance to [email protected]
• You will then be sent your certificate of attendance for the Working Within the Minimum Approach Distance Pre-Recorded Webinar

Make plans to attend IAMU’s Trenching and Shoring Workshop on Thursday, March 19th, 2026. OSHA requires a competent person to be on-site at every excavation. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to become qualified as a competent person (or stay current with the responsibilities). The competent person is required to evaluate site safety and resolve existing and potential hazards. 
The DNR has approved 0.4 CEUs for WD and WW only.
 
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This workshop is designed for city and utility employees and outside contractors employed by a city, or anyone working in a trenching and shoring situation. The training received will cover the overall requirements of the law, including:

• Employee safety
• Dealing with traffic
• Soil identification
• Emergency equipment
• Determining if shoring is needed
• Proper methods of trenching and shoring

Contact the contractors who work for your city/utility and
encourage them to register and attend!
COST:
IAMU Members - $187; Non-IAMU Members - $255
 
TIME:
Registration begins at 8:30a.m. The workshop will be from 9:00a.m.-1:30p.m.

​IAMU Offers Two Scholarship Programs
 
The Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities is pleased to offer two scholarship programs this year – a scholarship program for students pursuing a post-secondary program with a utility focus and a general scholarship program for children or grandchildren of IAMU member employees.
 
“IAMU is pleased to have two scholarship offerings again this year,” said Troy DeJoode, IAMU executive director. “Last year, we awarded four scholarships to students pursuing educations in utility-related fields to help the next generation of professionals to get the education and training that they need. Again this year, we are offering another scholarship to the children and grandchildren of IAMU members. This is a general scholarship, and the recipients do not need to be pursuing a utility-related certification or degree.”
 
Utility-Focused Scholarship
Each $2,000 scholarship will be distributed to the educational institution. To apply, candidates must fill out and submit the scholarship application. Applications are due February 28, 2026 to [email protected]. IAMU will announce the award recipients by April 25, 2026.
 
To be eligible for consideration, candidates must:

• Live in a residence that is a verified customer of an IAMU member or attend a high school that is a verified customer of an IAMU member. If you are unsure whether your local area is an IAMU member, contact your city hall.
• Be a 2026 graduating high school senior or have previously graduated from high school.
• Be attending a post high school education program located in Iowa in the fall of 2026.

 
Preference will be given to applicants entering a utility-related career with a special preference to applicants entering utility-related trades programs leading to careers in difficult to fill utility careers such as, as an example only, electric line worker, water treatment or distribution operator, or operator qualified natural gas positions.
 
General Scholarship
Each $500 will be distributed to the educational institution. To apply, candidates must fill out and submit the scholarship application.  Applications are due February 28, 2026 to [email protected]. IAMU will announce the award recipients by April 25, 2026.
 
To be eligible for consideration, candidates must:

• Attend college/technical school within the state of Iowa.
• Have a parent/grandparent/legal guardian who is an employee of an IAMU-verified member.
• Have a 3.0 minimum GPA.

 
IAMU members are encouraged to share this scholarship information with their communities. You might post information to your social media account(s) and website, and submit information to your local newspaper and/or radio station. IAMU is sending an email about the scholarships to high school guidance counselors, but you might also consider reaching out to your local guidance counselors as well.
 
If you have any questions about the scholarship program, please feel free to contact IAMU at [email protected].

Dear Members,

We want to provide you with an update regarding continuing education units (CEUs) from our November Water/Wastewater workshop.

We understand that many of you have been checking the Iowa DNR website for your CEU credits, and we know they have not yet been posted. Please be assured that we are actively working with the DNR to resolve this issue and get your credits posted as quickly as possible.
​
We recognize how important these credits are for maintaining your certifications, and we appreciate your patience as we work through this with the DNR. We are hopeful that the credits will be available on their website soon.
​
If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Thank you for your understanding.

Winter weather has a way of sneaking risk into everyday routines. Snow, ice, and slush don’t stop at the door—and when moisture gets tracked inside, slips and falls aren’t far behind.
That’s where floor mats for slip and fall protection come in. When chosen, placed, and maintained correctly, fall prevention floor mats help protect employees, customers, and visitors while reducing the chance of costly claims. Think of them as a simple, effective first line of defense during winter months.
Here’s how to get the most out of your mats this season.
