Our Overhead Electric Utilities training course is regulation compliant, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements.
During this training, we will be taking a look at proper grounding procedures; equipment you may work with or around when working on overhead electrical utilities, including cranes and bucket trucks; best practices for working safely on site; pole-top and tower-top rescue; and we will present some case studies that will help illustrate the topics in the training.

NOTE: This training is not intended as a competent climber/rescuer training.
This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required by Canada.
Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, and local standards, this training encompasses the following laws and regulations:

In line with regulations, anyone who operates on or near overhead electrical power lines must receive training prior to working on their own.
When it comes to refresher training, the standards in some instances (like forklifts) are very specific: operators must be re-evaluated every three years to see if they are still competent to operate the equipment. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all types of equipment.
A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.
