| 2012 NFPA 70E® Self-Guided Online Training Course Series | 2012 NFPA 70E® Self-Guided Online Training Course Series – comprised of six online courses that can be taken together at a series price or as individual online course modules. Avoid electrical injuries, deaths, and OSHA violations. The NFPA 70E® Online Course Series explains how and why NFPA 70E protects personnel from potentially deadly hazards. Hundreds of worker deaths and thousands of injuries could be prevented each year by following 2012 NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. Originally developed at OSHA’s request, NFPA 70E provisions used to identify electrical safety hazards and reduce employee exposure to those hazards. Get the NFPA 70E training you need — on your own time — with the NFPA 70E Online Course Series. This 6-part series provides vital information about today’s Standard through individual courses addressing the safety-related work practices and procedures that employees, supervisors, and owners need to understand to avoid electrical tragedies on the job. |

| 2012 NFPA 70E®: Electrical Hazard Analysis Self-Guided Online Course | Lives depend on your ability to apply NFPA 70E® to conduct an accurate electrical hazard analysis and determine safe approach boundaries. This self-paced online course addresses the requirements and methods in the 2012 NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace for analyzing the hazards and risks of work that involves exposure to electrical hazards. Electrical Hazard Analysis — Course 4 in the NFPA 70E Online Course Series — consists of two lessons that cover the assessment of arc flash hazards and electrical shock hazards. This analysis becomes the basis for selection of appropriate safe work practices including Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as covered in other courses. |

| 2012 NFPA 70E®: Personal Protective Equipment Self-Guided Online Course | Understand the importance of adequate Personal Protective Equipment and how NFPA 70E® helps you choose the right PPE for the job. Arc flash is immediate and can happen without touching live components. This self-paced online course covers the general requirements in the 2012 NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and arc-rated clothing — including how to select PPE for the specific hazards involved with various tasks. Personal Protection Equipment — Course 5 in the NFPA 70E Online Course Series — consists of three lessons on the requirements for selection and use of arc-rated clothing as well as the selection and use of other PPE for protection from arc flash and shock hazards. |

| 2012 NFPA 70E®: Safety-Related Maintenance and Special Equipment Self-Guided Online Course | Maintenance is vital to electrical safety in the workplace. Learn about Safety-Related Maintenance and Special Equipment as addressed by NFPA 70E®. This self-paced online course covers the requirements in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 of the 2012 NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. Safety-Related Maintenance and Special Equipment — Course 6 in the NFPA 70E Online Course Series — consists of two lessons that cover required maintenance of electrical equipment as it relates to electrical safety in the workplace and requirements for safety of employees who work with specific special types of equipment. This includes some hazards not specifically addressed in Chapter 1 of NFPA 70E. |

| 2012 NFPA 70E®: Working While Exposed to Electrical Hazards Self-Guided Online Course | Working “live” or “energized” exposes personnel to even greater electrical risks. Learn how compliance with NFPA 70E® provides protection. This self-paced online course covers the sections of the 2012 NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace that provide workers with safety guidelines for situations where de-energizing is not possible or where de-energizing could create increased or additional hazards. Working While Exposed to Electrical Hazards — Course 3 in the NFPA 70E Online Course Series — presents three lessons that cover the requirements for analysis of the electrical hazards and risks of working on energized electrical parts, the requirements for energized electrical work permits, and other precautions for activities involving electrical hazards. |

| Active Energy Efficiency Using Speed Control | Many motors only have two settings: on and off. They operate at constant speed. If a motor turning at constant speed is driving a device or process that requires less output, adjustments are required to achieve the desired output level. This adjustment is often achieved by letting the motor run at full speed, while using downstream devices to block part of the output. This is like driving your car by having one foot fully depressing the accelerator pedal, and the other on the brake to constantly control the speed. It sounds absurd, but this is still one of the most common control methods. An estimated 60% of motors are not speed controlled. The focus of this course is to explore the different ways we can control motor speed efficiently and with minimal physical stress on equipment. In addition, we’ll discuss other advantages such as controlled starting and regulated torque.

| Boiler Types and Opportunities for Energy Efficiency | Steam and hot water provide a means of transporting controllable amounts of energy from a central boiler house, where it can be efficiently and economically generated, to the point of use. Steam and hot water are popular throughout industry for a broad range of tasks from mechanical power production to space heating and process applications. The boiler room is a place where there are many opportunities for energy efficiency, as described in this class.

| Building Controls I: An Introduction to Building Controls | Have you ever been in a meeting in a conference room where the room was just too hot? Or too cold? Did you find it uncomfortable and hard to concentrate? Have you ever considered how much money is wasted when things like that are not addressed? What’s the solution? The control system within a building is very important to the energy efficiency of the building, and also to the comfort of the building’s occupants. In this class, we will learn a simple definition of a control system, learn the components of a control system, and describe some fundamental types of control and control loops.
