Detailed Description of Training Sessions:
Safety Basics™ Training Sponsored by Cooper Bussmann
This seminar will cover safety standards including OSHA, NFPA 70, and NFPA 70 E (Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplace 2009). Methods to reduce the ARC Fault Hazard potential to employees will be presented. Discussion topics include arc basics, safe working distances, protective equipment, exposure time and fault current, and guarding against live parts.
This seminar will also focus on general electrical safety precautions. It will help the attendee recognize the hazards as well as give them a basic understanding of the NFPA 70E and how to understand it’s requirements.

Risk Assessment, Risk Estimation and Functional Safety Sponsored by Rockwell Automation
In today's competitive environment, savvy companies understand that risk assessment is also a key to improving overall productivity. A risk assessment - conducted by a qualified risk assessment specialist- serves to safeguard machines and help improve productivity as it defines the mitigating techniques that reduce risk to an acceptable level. Any new machine safety project should begin with a risk assessment to provide a roadmap for successful execution.
This session will review basic risk assessment methodology as well as OSHA requirements and insights for compliance. Session wil also examine consensus standard risk estimation definitions as well as safety rated control system performance levels, the building blocks of functional safety.

UL508A – SCCR – Sponsored by Cooper Bussmann
Under UL508A, an SCCR rating must be provided and labeled on the industrial contraol panel. This seminar will provide the attendee with an understanding of Short Circuit Current Ratings. It will discuss the reasoning behind this and why it is a safety issue. Methods will be discussed to accurately label a UL508A industrial control panel with the correct SCCR ratings as well as raising those levels through approved practices.

Risk Mitigation/SafeGuarding Techniques sponsored by Rockwell Automation
To paraphrase OSHA, 'Any machine part, function or process which may cause injury must be safeguarded', and, 'When the operation of a machine or accidental contact with it can injure an operator or others in the vicinity, the hazard must be controlled ore eliminated'. The way to control hazards is through safeguarding techniques.
This session provides a roadmap connecting risk assessment results to practical development and selection of safeguarding methods to mitigate risk. The session provides and overview of consensus standards and how they help provide requirements for design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of various kinds of safeguarding. Presentation will also include: Hierarchical Approach to Safeguarding, Purpose of Safeguarding and a Comparison of the Five Groups of Safeguarding.

Selective Coordination - Sponsored by Cooper Bussmann
This seminar will discuss the articles in the 2008 NEC requiring Selecting Coordination. It will explain exactly what Selective Coordination is and why it is is necessary. It’s important to understand that Selective Coordination focuses on the loads. An overview and understanding of time current curves will be provided to the attendee so that they have a clear understanding on how to achieve a coordinated system. Multiple ways to comply with Selective Coordination will also be discussed.

Arc-Flash Mitigation Technologies - sponsored by GE
The purpose of the session is to provide an overall understanding of the strategic impact of arc-flash with a special focus on the tactical means to minimize operational exposure to the users of electrical equipment.
Specific sub-topics will include: “What is Arc Flash”, “Worker Safety”, “How to Address Safety Needs” and “Risk Reduction through Design & Technology”.
The majority of time will be spent on the “Risk Reduction through Design & Technology” segment. Pluses and minuses of equipment mechanical solutions, equipment electrical solutions and new technology devices will be presented.
As a supplement to the theory of design, the practical implementation and operation of the solutions by the user will also be discussed. The range of the distribution equipment will be from Medium Voltage Switchgear to Medium Voltage Motor Control to Low Voltage Switchgear to Switchboards to Low Voltage Motor Control Centers.

Arc Flash Analysis.... the Path to Risk Reduction for Electrical Resources sponsored by Rockwell Automation
Hazards associated with arc flash (phase to phase or phase to ground faults) include burns, acoustical hazards, shock/pressure, thermal hazards and flying components from broken panels. Ark Flash Analysis is the best path to risk reduction for electrical technicians and other personnel that have to access industrial panels.
This session provides an overview of Arc Flash Analysis components including: electrical power system analysis, recommended arc flash study training, short circuit current analysis, overcurrent protective device coordination and hazard analysis. This session will also help you understand:
- Causes of Arc Flash and nature of hazard
- Current OSHA requirements regarding electrical hazards and Arc Flash
- Review of NFPA 70E: Electrical Safety in the Workplace
- Arc Flash risk reduction
- Elements of a workplace electrical safety program
- Arc Flash labeling requirements
- Arc Flash hazard analysis and report
- Overview of Hazard/Risk Categories
- Risk Reduction Techniques

Easy Selective Coordination Solutions - sponsored by GE
-Following the introduction of the coordination requirements in Articles 700, 701, 708 and 620 in the 2005 and 2008 National Electric Code, “caution” was the operative word as users, engineers, inspectors, etc. all adjusted their traditional designs to meet the new NEC selectivity requirements.
This seminar provides examples of several interpretations of the NEC (state based, segment based, etc) and also details the two fundamental platforms adopted by the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
The majority of time will be spent on practical examples showing how to design, implement and verify a legally required emergency distribution systems with up to five layers of selective protection.
