What you should know
Arc-Ready™ is an online electrical safety training course aligned with CSA Z462:24 (Workplace Electrical Safety). It was written by working electricians, not generic course designers, who translate the standard into plain, practical language you can use on the job. Learners build a working understanding of arc-flash and shock hazards, the principles behind safe energized-work decisions, the role of personal protective equipment, and safe work practices. They then complete a knowledge assessment and earn a certificate of completion that supports your organization’s electrical safety program. It is built for electricians, apprentices, supervisors, and contractors across Alberta and Canada who want training that reflects real field conditions.
- Standard: Aligned with CSA Z462:24
- Length: ~6 hrs, self-paced
- Format: 100% online
- Certificate: on completion
- Retrain: Every 3 Years
What this course covers
Arc-Ready works through the real hazard-assessment process a qualified person follows in the field:
- Choosing the assessment method: arc-flash label vs. the CSA Z462 table approach
- The abnormal-condition audit to run before you interact with equipment
- Assessing shock risk, including limited and restricted approach boundaries
- Assessing arc-flash risk: likelihood, incident energy, and the arc-flash boundary
- Why upstream protection drives arc-flash severity, not just the gear in front of you
- Selecting PPE and tools: cal/cm² rating, glove class, insulated tools, and rated meters
- Establishing an electrically safe work condition: isolation, lock/tag, and live-dead-live verification
- When energized work needs a permit (EEWP) and how it is justified
- Emergency response: non-conductive rescue, standby first aid, and contact release
- Running an effective pre-job briefing with the crew

Frequently asked questions
What standard is the Arc-Ready course based on?
Arc-Ready is aligned with CSA Z462:24, the Canadian standard for workplace electrical safety.
How long does the course take?
About 6 hours, completed online and at your own pace.
Does completing the course make me qualified or competent?
No. Passing the course shows you understand the training content. On its own, it does not make you competent for a specific task. Your employer or a qualified supervisor determines competence, based on the actual equipment and site conditions.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. You receive a certificate of completion. We recommend retraining at the interval above, or sooner if required by your employer, the standard, or applicable law.
