0 Comments

 
Picture
This course covers generation, transmission, and distribution in the same amount of detail, covering distribution down to the 120/240 residential connections. This class details how all key pieces of equipment are built, how the equipment operates, and how the equipment functions in the overall operations of a utility system. It integrates equipment construction and operations in describing a utility. It is structured to provide employees with the same technical understanding that engineers receive, but this understanding is provided without the complex mathematics that engineers learn.

​ NFPA 70B 2023 Workshop - July 17, 2025

​ NFPA 70B 2023 Workshop - July 17, 2025

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, 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

If you are an electrical supervisor, foreman, safety and health personnel, electrical maintenance personnel, or responsible for maintaining equipment maintenance documentation, then you should attend this workshop.

Remember: License does not equal qualified

Registration is open and limited. CLICK HERE to see the full workshop brochure and secure your spot!

Certified Mobile Crane Operator – Telescoping Boom              June 16th – June 20th 2025

5/7/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
Crane operators will know and implement the rules and regulations set forth by ASME B30.5 and will safely apply those standards in daily operations. Operators will read, know, and apply all information provided in the manufacturer’s operator manual and will be able to interpret load charts, load testing, LMIs, and any safety instrumentation of each crane. Crane operators will know machine conditions, operational limitations, and load limitations for situations in which the operator may be involved. The operators will conduct all hoisting operations in a safe manner. Operators will be able to effectively communicate with riggers, signal persons, and other site personnel involved with hoisting operations.
The content and titles of NCCER’s mobile crane operator assessments are dependent upon each crane’s boom types while the content and titles of the practical examinations are grouped by the mount, or carriage, that is used with each crane.
Applicants who successfully complete both the knowledge and skills evaluations will be granted “certified mobile crane operator” status for a period of five years from issuance of certification.
Certified crane operators must continue to meet ASME B30 physical requirements throughout their certification period and attest to their agreement to this requirement in their applications.
OSHA requires employers to use qualified riggers during hoisting activities for assembly and disassembly work, when workers are within the fall zone and hooking, unhooking or guiding a load or doing the initial connection of a load to a component or structure.
The level of certification depends upon the individual’s training, knowledge, skill base, and ability to perform functions related to the selection, inspection, and proper use of rigging equipment. This person may be a pipe-fitter, an electrician or steelworker. Each load, pick, crane or job-site may require rigging that varies from simple to complex. Each is unique. The person designated as the rigger must have the ability to properly rig the load for a particular job. Many construction companies require certified riggers be used to attach the load to a crane hook. We offer three levels of Rigger certification to help you reach that next step in your profession.
