Free arc flash seminar

[zog]

AVO is putting on a series of free 4 hour arc flash hazard analysis seminars this fall. I don't work for AVO but I know them well and they do a good job with thier training, this is not like other "free" arc flash seminars by PPE manufactures that are just intended to sel PPE (At least I don't think it is).

This training won't make you a "qualified person" in the eyes of OSHA or 70E but is a good starting place for those that know little about the subject and don't have money to spend on a real course.

If anyone goes to one of these prease use this thread to provide feedback on the course.

This free four hour seminar will help you understand the dangers, regulations and more. The schedule includes:

14-Sep San Diego, CA

16-Sep Los Angeles, CA

5-Oct Peoria, IL

7-Oct Columbus, OH

19-Oct Wichita, KS

21-Oct St Louis, MO

9-Nov Las Vegas, NV

11-Nov Sacramento, CA

7-Dec Dallas TX

9-Dec Ft Worth TX

Since it is free, it is too bad that you cannot watch on-line.

Like Fluke offers.

Appreciate the info Zog. Thanks! I am going to try to attend the one in Peoria, IL.

I PM'd you a while back about an arc flash seminar in the suburbs of Chicago. The seminar, if I remember correctly, was free. The only expense that the company I work for would have had to pay for was mileage (this would have been less than $100).

An exact quote from my manager "We cannot justify the added expense. There is just simply no money in the training budget this year."

This is right around the same time that the company was spending around $250,000 upgrading one of the machines that we have here. Unbelievable!

Tell him it is not an option, OSHA requires this training. You can find OSHA reports everyday with huge fines for companies not providing this training.
