Integrated Approach
Pair NFPA 70E safe work practices with arc flash analysis, NFPA 70B maintenance, and thermography—fewer incidents, better uptime, and programs you can defend in an audit.
Safe work practices, PPE, LOTO, energized work permits, and qualified worker programs.

NFPA 70E
Safe Work Practices
For qualified electrical workers, maintenance teams, and awareness sessions.
This covers:
Managers, supervisors, production, and non-electrical personnel
Orientation on arc flash and shock hazards, approach boundaries, label basics, and what unqualified workers must never do near energized equipment.
Qualified electrical workers and maintenance teams
Refresher aligned to NFPA 70E Article 110: risk assessment, PPE selection, LOTO/ESWC workflow, energized work permits, and recent code updates.
Electricians, reliability leaders, EHS, and engineering staff
Full-day NFPA 70E class with scenario-based decisions on real equipment tasks—built to support qualification documentation, not checkbox attendance.

NFPA 70B
Equipment Maintenance
For plant managers, maintenance planners, and engineers.
This covers:
Plant managers, operations leaders, facility owners & engineers
How the 2023 edition moved from recommended practice to a mandatory standard—and what that means for your EMP, compliance, and NFPA 70E integration.
Topics covered
Teams who completed the 70B overview
Facility-specific review of your EMP, equipment list, and procedures—with a guided walk-through and prioritized debrief.

Who Needs Training
NFPA 70E, NFPA 70B, and OSHA expect different training depth based on exposure and tasks. We help you match the right session to each role.
Workers who construct, operate, or maintain electrical equipment and must identify hazards, select PPE, and follow energized work rules. Training must include demonstrated skills—not classroom time alone.
Anyone who may be near exposed energized parts (often 50 V and above) but does not perform electrical work. They need hazard recognition, boundaries, and clear limits on what they may touch or approach.
Leaders who authorize work, audit programs, or coordinate contractors. They need enough NFPA 70E literacy to enforce job briefings, permits, and electrically safe work conditions.
Learning Outcomes
Industries
Manufacturing, energy, utilities, and critical facilities across Texas and nationwide.
What You Receive
Training is part of your electrical safety program—not a one-off event. We leave you with materials you can defend in an audit.
Why Plazmaa
We use your equipment context—labels, one-lines, and procedures—so workers practice decisions on gear they actually see in the field.
Plazmaa also performs arc flash studies. Training and analysis stay aligned so PPE, boundaries, and classroom content match your facility.
Onsite at your plant or live virtual (Teams, Zoom, Webex)—interactive Q&A and scenarios, not pre-recorded slide decks.
Headquartered in Austin, TX with onsite programs across Texas and virtual delivery for distributed teams.
Nationwide Coverage
All fifty US states in alphabetical order. Texas is Plazmaa's home base.

Client Feedback
“The instructor made complicated requirements practical for our technicians. We changed field behavior within the same week.”
Clayton Reeves
Maintenance Manager, Kreate
“Direct, site-relevant, and our supervisors finally have a consistent process for briefings and energized work decisions.”
Tyler Crow
EHS Leader, Kooltronics
“Clear explanation of PPE, boundaries, and when a permit is required. The team stayed engaged for the full day.”
Marlene Whitaker
Operations Director, Dragonfly Batteries
FAQ
NFPA 70E covers safe electrical work practices—arc flash and shock protection, PPE, LOTO, and energized work rules for people who work on or near equipment. NFPA 70B covers electrical equipment maintenance—the Electrical Maintenance Program (EMP), inspection intervals, testing, and records. Both support OSHA compliance; 70E even references that equipment must be properly maintained per 70B or manufacturer instructions before work is safe.
The 2023 edition uses mandatory language (shall) for EMP requirements. Facilities need documented maintenance plans, procedures, inspection schedules, and records. Our 70B overview helps leadership understand what changed and how to close gaps.
Yes. Onsite delivery supports label review, equipment walk-throughs, and 70B EMP reviews tied to your switchgear, MCCs, and procedures. We serve Austin, greater Texas, and all 50 states.
Yes. Live instructor-led virtual sessions on Teams, Zoom, or Webex—with document review when you share one-lines, labels, or EMP materials in advance.
NFPA 70E expects retraining at least every three years, and sooner when assignments, equipment, or procedures change. NFPA 70B expects ongoing EMP coordination, training, and periodic program evaluation.
No. Qualification requires demonstrated skills for specific tasks and equipment. Our 4- and 8-hour NFPA 70E programs emphasize field-ready decision-making that supports your qualification records.
Yes. Many facilities bundle qualified worker training, 70B management overview, arc flash study/labeling, and infrared thermography so training, labels, and maintenance stay aligned.
