About this Course
This course gives a brief overview of changes to the 2020 National Electric Code, focusing on additions to the Code, as well as revised articles, sections, subsections, and subdivisions. In the second section of the course, we explore the important electrical safety standard NFPA 70E, beginning with a general overview followed by lessons discussing Article 110, including outside contractors, training requirements, and working within limited approach boundaries. Further lessons examine NFPA 70E standards pertaining to personal and other protective equipment. We will look at insulated tools and equipment, un-insulated overhead lines, and general safety precautions. In the final part of the course, we discuss the Texas law and rules that govern electrician licensing and practice, beginning with an introduction to the role and duties of the Electrical Safety and Licensing Advisory Board. Students will learn about the different types of electrician licenses issued in Texas and the requirements for obtaining and maintaining these licenses. Students will also be taught training documentation, insurance requirements, electrician responsibilities, and standards of conduct.
