objectivesThe Ground Fault Protection for Construction online training from OSHA Education School is an intermediate-level course designed to teach participants how to properly apply ground fault safety procedures while using cord sets and receptacles that are not part of a permanent structure on construction sites. Additionally, participants can expect to learn and discuss the safe usage of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) on the construction site.
OSHA Education School’s Ground Fault Protection for Construction online safety training provides an in-depth, intermediate-level training on the proper use of GFCIs in the construction workplace. Participants can expect the course to cover OSHA standards, as well as state-specific regulations governing the use of GFCIs, as well as how to use and where to apply them. Specific course topics include the following:
Introduction to ground fault protection in construction
Basic knowledge assessment
Insulating grounding
GFCIs
Ground fault situational analysis
Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Programs (AEGCP)
Drills 1, 2, 3 & 4
Specific industry terms discussed throughout the duration of the course include the following:
GFCIs
OSHA CFR 29, 1926, Subpart K, Electrical Requirements (Construction)
OSHA CFR 1926.401(b)(1)(iii)
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
National Institute Organization for Safety and Health (NIOSH)
OSHA Training Institute
AEGCP
descriptionThe Ground Fault Protection for Construction online course is an intermediate-level course that teaches participants how to appropriately use ground fault safety practices when working on construction sites with cord sets and receptacles that are not permanently attached to a structure. Additionally, attendees may anticipate learning and discussing the proper use of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) on the job. Ground Fault Protection for Construction online safety training gives in-depth, intermediate-level instruction on the correct use of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in the construction sector. The training will address both OSHA guidelines and state-specific rules controlling the usage of GFCIs, as well as how and where to implement them.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
Failure to pass quizzes and the final exam will result in being locked out of this online training program, but the learner can repurchase and start back from the beginning.
Upon completing this Ground Fault Protection For Construction and the accompanying survey, you will receive an OSHA card from the provider of this OSHA training on behalf of the Department of Labor.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING TO RECEIVE YOUR DOL CARD
