 FREE* Full-Day Electrical Hazards Awareness workshops are being scheduled around the country this year to benefit U.S. arborists.
The Electrical Hazard Awareness seminars were made possible by a federal grant from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The grant was awarded through the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, which provides funding for nonprofit organizations to conduct training and education programs for employers and workers on the recognition, avoidance, and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplaces. You can check local availability and register online here.
TCIA’s Electrical Hazards Awareness Program (EHAP), introduced in 1975, has trained thousands of arborists involved in line clearance and those working on residential properties near energized lines. It is widely recognized as the training standard for complying with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269 regulations.
The FREE workshops provided participants with most of the formal requirements of an Electrical Hazard Awareness Training Program (EHAP)..
TCIA is an international trade association that develops safety, education and management programs and standards of tree care practices. TCIA is the only accrediting body of tree care firms in the United States.
*A nominal fee may be charged to cover the cost of lunch.
