Who Should Attend
All generator technicians, operators, maintenance personnel, and supervisors. No prerequisites — safety training is essential for all experience levels. Required annually per OSHA recommendations.
Key Takeaways
- Carbon monoxide is the silent killer — never operate diesel generators indoors or in poorly ventilated areas.
- Lockout/tagout is not optional — it is the single most important safety procedure in generator maintenance.
- Electrical arc flash can reach temperatures of 19,000°C — always wear appropriate arc-rated PPE within the arc flash boundary.
- Safety is everyone's responsibility — if you see an unsafe condition, stop work and report it immediately.
