Almost all arborists have at least some exposure to an electrical hazard.
Don't take a chance. Almost half of ALL electrocution fatalities are the
result of in direct contact - one doesn't even have to touch a wire to be electrocuted.
The Electrical Hazards Awareness Program, or EHAP, is a training program that employers can use in conjunction with documented on-the-job skill training and assessment to increase awareness and assure the competency of their employees to work safely around conductors and to meet ANSI and OSHA requirements.

Attendance at an Annual EHAP Program Helps You and Your Employer Meet the MIOSHA and OSHA requirements along with ANSI Safety and Training Requirements.
The OSHA 1910.269 safety standard requires:
1. 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.
2. 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 (is an employer-certification training program you can implement to qualify your employees as line-clearance tree trimmers. EHAP must be used in combination with documented on-the-job skills training and verification to meet OSHA 1910.269 requirements.
EHAP meets ANSI safety and training requirements
The ANSI Z133.1 safety standard for arboricultural operations requires all employees be trained to recognize electrical hazards.
Upon enrollment, each enrollee will be provided with:
1. An EHAP training manual with six chapter tests and verification forms
2. A copy of ANSI Z133.1 safety standards.
