Testimonials

"I recently took the online Arc Flash Course offered by the Electrical Contractors Association of BC and found the course material very beneficial. It outlined clear identification of PPE requirements and gave a complete understanding of the process of working on energized equipment while satisfying CSA Regulation Z462-08. The course demonstrated the correct way to minimize risk and mitigate these hazards. I would recommend this course to any electrical workers who want to protect themselves on the job site."

"I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn more about the dangers of Arc Flash so they can minimize the risk of injury. The course was easy to register and use online. It gave us valuable work and safety information that we could also pass on to other workers. The course modules were very concise and to the point."
