Overview & Objectives
The Ground Fault Protection for Construction online training from Exceed Safety is an intermediate-level course designed to teach participants how to properly apply ground fault safety procedures while using cord sets and receptacles that are not part of a permanent structure on construction sites. Additionally, participants can expect to learn and discuss the safe usage of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) on the construction site.
Exceed Safety’s Ground Fault Protection for Construction online safety training provides an in-depth, intermediate-level training on the proper use of GFCIs in the construction workplace. Participants can expect the course to cover OSHA standards, as well as state-specific regulations governing the use of GFCIs, as well as how to use and where to apply them. Specific course topics include the following:
- Introduction to ground fault protection in construction
- Basic knowledge assessment
- Insulating grounding
- GFCIs
- Ground fault situational analysis
- Assured Equipment Grounding Conductor Programs (AEGCP)
- Drills 1, 2, 3 & 4
Specific industry terms discussed throughout the duration of the course include the following:
- GFCIs
- OSHA CFR 29, 1926, Subpart K, Electrical Requirements (Construction)

In Person Training
Participants in our in-person courses can expect to be taught by our most skilled and experienced instructors. Our instructors strive to make our in-person classes dynamic by incorporating meaningful activities that allow peer-to-peer discussion and collaboration, hands-on learning, and real-life examples. Participants will also be able to have most questions answered while attending the class. Some of our classes are available via Zoom (just call us for more information) and can be combined with virtual-blended learning.
