Onsite / In-Person — Grand Rapids, MI
West Michigan runs one of the Midwest's most diversified manufacturing economies. Office furniture leaders Steelcase, MillerKnoll, and Haworth design and build across Kent and Ottawa counties; automotive suppliers from Gentex in Zeeland to Lacks Enterprises and GHSP feed the Detroit OEMs; and the food processing corridor — Kellogg's legacy operations, Request Foods, Hearthside Foods, and dozens of dairy and produce processors — makes the region a national food manufacturing center. Add aerospace (GE Aerospace's Grand Rapids avionics), medical device growth on the Medical Mile, and Consumers Energy infrastructure, and skilled electrical trades stay in high demand.
Furniture and automotive plants run stamping, molding, and finishing operations with dense MCC lineups and robotic cells; food plants add washdown environments where moisture and electrical equipment intersect — a combination that elevates both shock risk and equipment degradation. NFPA 70E's qualified worker training, risk assessment, and PPE requirements are the control framework OSHA expects for all of it.
Our 8-hour NFPA 70E Qualified Electrical Worker class in Grand Rapids serves plant electricians, maintenance mechanics with electrical duties, controls techs, and contractors from across West Michigan — Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Holland, Zeeland, Muskegon, and Kalamazoo — covering shock and arc flash boundaries, PPE categories, energized electrical work permits, and lockout/tagout.
8-hour initial qualification training for personnel who work on or near energized electrical equipment. Covers the full NFPA 70E requirements for becoming a Qualified Electrical Worker, including arc flash hazard analysis, shock and arc flash boundaries, PPE selection, and safe work practices, taught by a Certified Safety Professional.
