In-person · Jacksonville, FLElectrical safety training in Jacksonville, FL
Jacksonville covers more ground than any other city in the lower 48, and its electrical work stretches from Navy bases and port terminals to one of the largest public utilities in the country. We train the crews who keep it running, at your facility or in an in-person class we set up in Jacksonville when you ask.
Private employers in Florida are inspected by federal OSHA. Every class is live, on the 2027 edition of NFPA 70E, and taught by a Certified Safety Professional. Florida electrical safety training requirements →

Four ways to train your Jacksonville crew
Crews we train in and around Jacksonville: military and defense contractors, port and maritime, utilities and public works, rail and logistics, healthcare, electrical contractors.
What the class covers for Jacksonville crews
JEA and city employees are public workers in a state with no OSHA state plan. OSHA does not reach them. A written NFPA 70E program is the only structure protecting them, and we help build it.
Portable generators and improvised connections after a hurricane create backfeed onto lines that should be dead. We teach crews to treat every conductor as energized until verified.
Contractors on the Navy bases work under federal rules and base safety requirements in addition to their own program. We cover how host and contract employers share responsibility.
Corrosion near the river and the coast degrades enclosures and connections faster than inland. We talk about how equipment condition affects the risk of energized work.

Florida: what applies to your crews
Enforcement: federal OSHA, private sector only
Florida has no OSHA state plan. Private employers are covered by federal OSHA, which has a Jacksonville area office. State, county and city employees, including municipal utility workers, have no OSHA coverage.
Licensing: state contractor, local journeyman
Florida licenses electrical contractors through the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board under DBPR. Certified licenses are valid statewide and registered licenses only where issued. State law leaves journeyman licensing to counties and cities.
Where NFPA 70E fits
NFPA 70E is a consensus standard, not an OSHA rule. Employers and inspectors use it to show how the electrical requirements in 1910 Subpart S and 1926 Subpart K are met. For a public employer, it can be adopted by policy.
Jacksonville's electrical work environment
Jacksonville consolidated with Duval County in 1968, which is why the city limits run from the Nassau River to the St. Johns County line. Inside them sit NAS Jacksonville, Naval Station Mayport and Fleet Readiness Center Southeast. Mayport is the Navy's third-largest fleet concentration area in the country.
JAXPORT is Florida's largest container port by volume and one of the top vehicle-handling ports in the nation. Terminal crews work on cranes, reefer power and shore equipment in salt air. CSX is headquartered downtown, and the Westside and Northside are lined with distribution centers.
Hurricane season sets the rhythm for everyone. Restoration work after a storm pulls in mutual-aid crews and contractors who do not know the local system, often for long shifts.
JEA
JEA, owned by the City of Jacksonville, provides electric, water and sewer service in Duval County and parts of Nassau, St. Johns and Clay counties. It is the largest community-owned electric utility in Florida. Florida Power & Light serves some of the surrounding counties.
Because JEA is a public employer in a state with no OSHA plan, its own workforce sits outside OSHA's reach. Private contractors working on JEA systems are still covered by federal OSHA. That split matters when public and contract crews share a job.
