Electrical Hazard Recognition and Abatement Training
Date: April 15-18, 2019 (Ends at 12:30 pm on the 18th)
Location: Columbus (Pickerington), OH
Trainer: Michael Kovacic, ES Squared Inc
The focus of this course is hazard recognition rather than design or engineering. Participants are not required to have a background in electricity.
The class is open to anyone, but here’s the kicker… the class is FREE to any employee of any company that pays into Ohio Workers Comp (which is anyone with an Ohio location (and possibly others)). The student does not have to be from the Ohio location, they just need the Ohio policy number when they enroll (usually available from HR). Doesn’t get much better than FREE, especially when you consider the book/resources this class gives! Students get a Student Workbook, OSHA Cross Reference book, 2017 National Electrical Code, and 2018 NFPA 70E as part of the class… That’s over $400 in reference books, FREE!
If they have never attended a BWC class, they will need to create a login/password and will need the policy number.
