    Why EHAP?

    EHAP will augment your work in three areas:

    OSHA Safety Requirements

    EHAP helps you meet the OSHA 1910.269 safety standard, which requires:

    • Employer-certified training
      Employers must certify that employees who work 10 feet or closer to energized conductors are trained in the special hazards involved in such work.
    • On-the-job training and verification
      Employers must verify through documented, on-the-job training and verification that these employees have the skills necessary to perform line-clearance job tasks safely.

    EHAP must be used in combination with documented on-the-job skills training and verification to meet OSHA 1910.269 requirements.

    ANSI Safety Requirements
    The ANSI Z133.1 safety standard for arboricultural operations requires all employees be trained to recognize electrical hazards. EHAP training meets the ANSI Z133.1 training requirement. All the content related to electrical hazards in the Z133 is included in the EHAP course.) The ANSI Z 133 Safety Standard is available for purchase separately.

    Storm Cleanup
    EHAP is often required by the US Army Corps of Engineers in order to qualify for storm-related clean-ups. They have recognized the importance of the EHAP training program dating back to Hurricane Katrina.



    This course includes a full-day, in person training with a qualified instructor AND a virtual self-paced instruction. Participants will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

    Climbers must bring own gear, wear all necessary PPE and be able to access the tree and ascend/descend without assistance.
