Participants will learn how to safety  work on or near electrical lines and equipment.  This high voltage safety program was specifically designed for electricians or other persons that work on electrical switchgear, equipment or power lines. You will learn about live line tools, the effects of electricity on people and equipment and how to respond to an unwanted release of electrical energy in the work place.

We are now offering the Qualified Electrical Worker program as outlined in the competency profiles produced by the Province of Saskatchewan 

Training may include:

• A review of electricity and electromagnetic forces
