Frequently Asked Questions
How does this course differentiate between a Qualified and Unqualified employee?
The training explicitly outlines the skills, training, and authorizations required for a "Qualified" person to work on energized parts, while instructing "Unqualified" personnel on approach boundaries and safety restrictions to prevent accidental contact.
What are the key rules for inspecting electrical gloves and FR clothing before use?
Module 15 covers ASTM labeling charts, air-testing procedures for rubber insulating gloves, visual damage checks for Flame-Resistant (FR) garments, and proper storage practices to maintain dielectric integrity.
Why are control switches like push buttons insufficient for de-energizing machinery?
The course explains that control circuit devices (such as push buttons or selector switches) do not provide physical electrical isolation. Formal Lockout/Tagout procedures require disconnecting main power switches or circuit breakers directly.
Is Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection covered for outdoor or wet locations?
Yes. Module 17 provides detailed instructions on mandatory GFCI protection for portable power tools, extension cords, and highly conductive or damp work areas to prevent electric shock incidents.
