Electrical Hazard Awareness
Program (EHAP) Workshop
March 23, 2005
George Bauer Community Center Center in Taylor Park • Millburn, NJ
8:00 am - 4:00 pm (register at 7:30 am)
*Workshop is free. $5 per person, food & beverage service.
6.5 ISA CEU Credits
Special thanks to SavATree, Tree-Tech Incorporated, and Greenwood Tree and Lawns for their generous support to
help defray the cost of food & beverage service.
The Tree Care Industry Association has received a federal grant from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, through the Susan
Harwood Training Grant Program, which provides funding for nonprofit organizations to conduct training and education programs for employers
and workers on the recognition, avoidance, and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplaces.
This important workshop for tree workers will provide participants with critical knowledge and training needed to prevent electrical accidents.
Electricity has been the leading cause of death for workers performing Ornamental Shrub and Tree Services (SIC 0783) accounting for 34% of fatalities
according to OSHA statistics for 1984-2002. During this period there were 106 OSHA recorded fatalities resulting from electrical contact, averaging
6 per year. Topics will focus on training requirements that serve as a prerequisite for working within 10 feet of an electrical conductor.
Participants will learn about identifying electrical system components, the presence and nature of electrical hazards, protective measures available,
and common unsafe acts to avoid. The workshop will utilize Tree Care Industry Association’s Electrical Hazard Awareness Training Program
(EHAP) materials, widely recognized as the training standard for complying with OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.269 regulations (Retail value: $135). This
workshop is not a complete EHAP program: attendees of this workshop will complete three out of six components of TCIA’s Electrical Hazard
Awareness Program. Passing chapter exams from the manual provided and documenting current and valid CPR/First-aid certifications are also
requirements for full EHAP course completion.
Completing all six components of TCIA’s EHAP program provides a broad introduction to the special hazards involved with conducting arboricultural
operations around electricity. This course builds upon prior training in the basic arboricultural skills that should preexist attempting such activities
when special hazards are present. TCIA’s EHAP course completion, when combined with other documented training in climbing, pruning, rigging,
and emergency preparedness/response establishes competency and is used by employers to certify qualified line clearance tree trimmer status
upon their employees.
