OSHA’s electrical training duty sits at 29 CFR 1910.332(a): employers must train employees who face a risk of electric shock that the building’s own wiring and installation rules, 29 CFR 1910.303 through 1910.308, have not already reduced to a safe level. This 4-hour online course covers that ground for general industry. It teaches how electricity injures people, what makes a part exposed, and which of the work practices at 29 CFR 1910.331 through 1910.335 apply to the job you were actually hired to do.

Built to 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S. The training duty is at 1910.332, the work practices at 1910.331 through 1910.335, and the wiring rules at 1910.303 through 1910.308.

OSHA sets no hour count for this training. 29 CFR 1910.332(c) says only that it may be of the classroom or on-the-job type. Four hours is our depth decision, not a rule.

General industry only. Construction electrical work runs under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K, including the GFCI or grounding-program duty at 1926.404(b)(1), which this course does not teach.

Supervisors and designated competent persons can go further with our Electrical Safety for the Competent Person course.
