In-person · Omaha, NEElectrical safety training in Omaha, NE
Omaha anchors one of the busiest hyperscale corridors in the Midwest, with Meta and Google campuses in Sarpy County and more on the way. We train the electricians and technicians who build and run them, at your facility or in an in-person class we set up in Omaha when you ask.
Private employers in Nebraska are inspected by federal OSHA. Every class is live, on the 2027 edition of NFPA 70E, and taught by a Certified Safety Professional. Nebraska electrical safety training requirements →
Among the teams we have trained in the last year
Four ways to train your Omaha crew
Crews we train in and around Omaha: data center construction and commissioning, data center operations, utilities and generation, rail, food processing, military and government.
What the class covers for Omaha crews
Nebraska has no state plan, so Omaha employers fall under federal OSHA. Jobs in Council Bluffs are under the Iowa OSHA state plan. We help contractors keep one program that works in both.
The Nebraska State Electrical Division licenses electricians and registers apprentices. A license covers code knowledge. NFPA 70E qualification is a separate decision the employer has to document.
Sarpy County campuses add buildings while others run. We cover how to verify an electrically safe work condition when gear is energized in stages.
New substations, gas generation and large UPS and battery systems put medium-voltage and stored-energy hazards in front of crews used to commercial work.

Nebraska: what applies to your crews
Enforcement: federal OSHA
Nebraska has no OSHA state plan. Private employers in Omaha fall under federal OSHA through its Omaha Area Office. Work across the river in Council Bluffs is covered by the Iowa OSHA state plan.
Licensing: statewide
The Nebraska State Electrical Division licenses electricians and registers apprentices. Some cities and counties run their own electrical inspection programs. Crews working in Iowa also need Iowa credentials.
Where NFPA 70E fits
NFPA 70E is a consensus standard. Employers and federal inspectors use it to show how the electrical requirements in OSHA 1910 Subpart S and 1926 Subpart K are met, and OSHA can cite the General Duty Clause for a recognized arc flash hazard.
Omaha's electrical work environment
Omaha is home to Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, Kiewit and Mutual of Omaha. Offutt Air Force Base, just south of the city, is the region's largest employer.
The data center growth is in Sarpy County. Meta runs three campuses near Papillion and Springfield, and Google operates a cluster in Papillion and Omaha with more under construction. Inside the city, Scott Data in Aksarben is the largest local colocation provider.
Contractors here often cross the Missouri River to work in Council Bluffs, which is under a different OSHA program and a different licensing board.
OPPD and public power
The Omaha Public Power District serves Omaha and Sarpy County. Nebraska is served entirely by public power utilities, so OPPD answers to an elected board.
OPPD is adding gas generation at Turtle Creek Station and Standing Bear Lake Station under its Power with Purpose program, largely to meet Sarpy County data center load. New plants and substations mean more switching, protection and commissioning work for utility and contractor crews.

What the people in the room say
“Virtual can never replace hands-on, but the engagement from our instructor and the class made it feel more engaging than some in-person courses I've taken.”
“Probably one of the most useful safety courses I've ever attended. Rick genuinely cares about people and their well-being.”
“This is the 2nd arc flash training course I've taken and the class was amazing. I feel like I'm leaving the training safer than before I took this class.”
