Understanding CSA Z462-08

One day workshop to help translate the CSA standard into safe work practices.

Price: $295.00 + GST (per person)

30,000 electrical shock accidents occur every year!

If you think this statistic is alarming, consider these:

  • More than 2,000 people per year are admitted to burn centers with severe arc flash burns* 
  • Sixty-four occupational-related electrical deaths occurred in Ontario between 1999 and 2008.* In the same ten year period, 246 workers sustained critical injuries of an electrical nature. *

The impact of an electrical injury or fatality can be devastating for the workers involved and crippling in terms of production downtime, legal fees and associated costs. CSA Z462-08 Standard is designed to ensure electrical workers go home safe every night. Learn how to manage worker risks involving electrical hazards. But understanding how to effectively apply the standard is no easy task. ESA and IAPA’s Understanding CSA Z462-08 Workplace Electrical Safety Standard one-day workshop provides the guidance you need to translate the standard into safe work practices.
