@ Your-Site Safety & Technical Classes
To help utilities ensure that their employees are properly trained in working on or near energized equipment, NEPPA has developed a comprehensive safety training program for utility personnel. The program focuses on industry required training programs set by OSHA 1910.269, the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) and the American Public Power Association Safety Manual.
In response to a number of requests, NEPPA has also developed a series of technical training sessions that can be used for new employees as well as a refresher course for more experienced lineworkers. The topics cover some theory but mostly the practical application of the most common line equipment utilized by electric utilities today.

These classes may be conducted on-site at member utilities or at NEPPA's Training Facility and unless other arrangements are made, will begin at 8:00 am and conclude at 11:00 am. Unless noted, there are no prerequisites for these courses.

NEPPA strives to provide the highest level of training and education. An important part of the educational experience is to have the knowledge of other participants and their surroundings.
We encourage the participation or observation of utility management, general foremen or elected leaders at courses. This better facilitates the communication process between field workers and decision makers on safety issues.
If a utility is hosting a training and they wish to have a non-affiliated person attend or participate, they must seek approval from NEPPA prior to the training.
NEPPA reserves the right to remove or ask an attendee to leave its programs.
Reasons for removal include:
- Disruptive or inappropriate behavior for the learning environment;
- Lack of appropriate dress or equipment for classes requiring protective gear or equipment;
- Refusal or inability to perform for classes requiring physical performance;
- Non-adherence to safety rules or standards in classes where standards apply
The General Foreman or General Manager will be alerted to the situation.
Removal for any of the above reasons does not entitle participating parties to a refund.
Note: For classes requiring physical performance, students who have obtained confirmation from their utility acknowledging their inability to perform due to injury will be allowed to observe. This will be documented on the class roster.
