2011 NFPA 70: NEC Hazardous (Classified) Locations 1-day Seminar

Seminars begin promptly at 8:00 AM and end at 4:30 PM.

Are you equipped to prevent electrical related fires and explosions?

Protect lives and property by correctly interpreting and implementing NEC® Articles 500-516, concentrating on areas classified by Class and Division, to control electrical sources of ignition in areas where flammable or combustible material may be present. Understanding this critical aspect of the Code allows you to develop policies for the electrical aspects of fire and explosion prevention based on specific descriptions of locations, processes, and materials.

Upon completion you should be able to:

• Describe how the 2011 NEC relates to area classification and determine the class, division, and group of an area
• List occupancies for which area classification is provided in the NEC
• Define the methods of protection used in Class I, II, and III areas
• Select/specify equipment and wiring methods given area classification
• Recognize locations for required seals given specific equipment and classified area boundaries
