About This Course
Our Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) training program helps the employer meet
training requirements established in OSHA regulations and NFPA standards.
The program assures both the employer and the electrical worker that proper attention
and training has been given to the employee concerning potential electric shock,
fire, and arc flash hazards.
Based on NFPA 70E, workers attending this course will gain an immense respect for

around electrical systems and equipment, how to use proper materials, and
procedures for doing electrical work, and the potential consequences for themselves

also helps companies' meet their OSHA training obligations as outlined in CFR
