UL 1017 / CSA C22.2 STANDARD TRAINING STANDARD FOR SAFETY FOR VACUUM CLEANERS, BLOWER CLEANERS AND HOUSEHOLD FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES

INTRODUCTION FOR UL 1017 / CSA C22.2 STANDARD TRAINING STANDARD FOR SAFETY FOR VACUUM CLEANERS, BLOWER CLEANERS AND HOUSEHOLD FLOOR FINISHING MACHINES

The aim of these 2 days systems training for electrical products and equipment is to be marked with specific fire safety-related information and meet permanency of marking requirements. These markings can include electrical ratings, user instructions, warnings regarding potential fire and injury safety hazards, and cautionary markings. Compliance with permanency of marking requirements helps ensure that the labels will adhere to the application surface, and that the text will remain legible for the product’s intended use in compliance with the UL 1017 / CSA C22.2 Standard Directive for Vacuum Cleaners, Blower Cleaners and Household Floor Finishing Machines.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Know what are UL fire and occupational safety directives and their fundamental applications
2. Know what are UL Marking and Labeling Systems?
3. Know what is UL 1017 / CSA C22.2 Standard fundamentals
4. Technical Requirement as per Standards
5. Know UL 1017 requirement on fire safety – Fire hazards
6. Understand the mechanical and electrical risk assessment and fire safety requirement.
7. Know what is required in UL compliance in line with UL directives for occupational injuries and damages.
8. Understand in managing the UL marking and labelling system process and flow.
9. Identify the correct ANSI UL standards for industry fire safety practices.
10. Identify, estimate and evaluate risks in household cleaners, tools.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers, Technicians, Supervisors, Designers, Project leads.

METHODOLOGY

Participants will be involved in:

Classroom lectures, Group discussions, Conduct gap analysis, Video shows, Pre and Post tests plus training evaluation measures the learning.
