Electrical Safety Training Program Development Project

The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) is seeking sources for the development of an electrical safety training program. The program aims to enhance the safety culture, ensure the consistent application of established safety protocols, and maintain compliance with all applicable federal, state, and WAPA-specific safety regulations. The training will focus on preventing accidents, minimizing risks, and fostering a safe working environment within substation settings. The target audience includes WAPA federal employees who require access to substation facilities. The training program will incorporate a blended learning approach, emphasizing theoretical knowledge delivered through engaging photos and informative videos. The scope of work includes developing a customized digital training presentation that directly addresses all training objectives outlined in the statement of work. • The training program will cover topics such as safe and unsafe contact, voltage awareness, minimum approach distances, arc flash boundaries, personal protective equipment, electrical contact, induced voltage and current, step-and-touch potential, control room hazards, trip and fall hazards, and emergency preparedness. • The training presentation will adhere to and incorporate requirements from OSHA standards, National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), and National Electrical Code (NEC). • The training program will be mandatory for all WAPA federal employees who require access to substation facilities. • The contractor will deliver a customized digital training presentation to Western Power Administration, which will receive full rights and a perpetual license to utilize this training content for the education of its employees.
