It can be difficult to identify what training your workers need to keep them safe. Ensuring you comply with OSHA’s QEW standards just adds to the confusion. Since training needs to be specific to your organization, there’s no one-size-fits-all program. This tool was created to help you connect the dots between your workforce training program and what OSHA requires. We hope it helps you feel more confident in the training you provide your team.
At the end of the assessment, you’ll get a printable report that tells you which training is most relevant to your workforce. Remember, for QEW, training is determined by the tasks your workers perform.
The survey takes approximately 5 minutes.
OSHA has hazard-specific laws mandating safety training. If your employees are exposed to certain types of hazards, you are obligated to provide such training.
Are you responsible for conducting, coordinating, or overseeing maintenance of electrical equipment?
These questions identify job roles and voltage exposure.
Are your employees exposed to parts of electrical circuits operating at 50 volts or more to ground? Jobs that aren't electric-related can still be exposed. Some examples are:
Do your QEWs and QEW trainees have a solid understanding of electrical theory?
Do you have workers who perform the following functions?
Do you have electrical lineworkers?
Does your company operate or maintain electric power generation?
