Line and substation safety

Short talks for the tailboard

Title

In short

Arc flash training teaches electrical workers how arc flash happens, how to read arc flash labels and how to choose arc-rated PPE. This pack covers arc flash alongside switching, test before touch, grounding, storm work and backfeed, with six crew checks based on NFPA 70E and OSHA 1910.269.

How to run it

  1. 1Run the whole pack as a tailboard refresher, or one topic card at a time.
  2. 2Ask the crew to vote before you discuss each check. The answers and references are in the speaker notes.
  3. 3Use your own arc flash labels and switching orders as examples on the arc flash and switching slides.
  4. 4This is refresher material. It doesn't replace qualified-worker training under OSHA 1910.269 or NFPA 70E.

Questions people ask

What should arc flash training cover?
What an arc flash is, how to read arc flash labels and boundaries, choosing arc-rated clothing by its cal/cm² rating, and de-energizing work wherever possible.
What are good lineman safety topics?
Test before touch, temporary protective grounding, switching orders, backfeed from generators, downed lines in storm work, and fatigue during long restoration shifts.
Does this replace qualified electrical worker training?
No. It's a refresher for crews who are already trained under OSHA 1910.269 and NFPA 70E.
