Electrical Safety Field Work Audit

Not surprisingly, many businesses lack a cohesive system to assess their electrical staff as they carry out their daily tasks. It’s a daunting task. Our service helps you create an audit program to ensure you retain a skilled, compliant and qualified electrical staff. OSHA and NFPA 70E, the standards for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, require qualified electrical workers to demonstrate their skills. Our Electrical Safety Field Work Audit allows you to observe and evaluate your workers in action to ensure they are qualified and compliant. The purpose of the Audit is to observe each participant demonstrate the required tasks to safely perform in the field.

Each participant brings his or her electrical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), necessary tools, materials and any required documentation to complete the assigned task. We observe your electrical staff as they perform their tasks and provide feedback and recommendations. If necessary, work is paused by the auditor and the electrical worker is coached through the task to ensure they develop the skills necessary for safe electrical work. A final audit checklist of each participant is completed providing employers with third party documentation of the participant’s skills and abilities to perform electrical safe work practices.

Additionally, your field auditors may use this session to learn techniques and procedures for conducting their own annual NFPA 70E required field audits. Some companies, for their own field audit use, customize the NTT checklist provided.
