In-person · Arlington, TXElectrical safety training in Arlington, TX
Arlington's electrical work centers on General Motors' Arlington Assembly plant and a stadium district that hosted nine 2026 World Cup matches. We train the plant electricians, venue engineers and contractors who keep that power on, at your facility or in an in-person class we set up in Arlington on request.
Private employers in Texas are inspected by federal OSHA. Every class is live, on the 2027 edition of NFPA 70E, and taught by a Certified Safety Professional. Texas electrical safety training requirements →

Four ways to train your Arlington crew
Crews we train in and around Arlington: automotive manufacturing, stadiums and entertainment venues, higher education, healthcare, industrial and logistics, public employers.
What the class covers for Arlington crews
Assembly lines combine robots, welding power, conveyors and motor control centers that run across multiple shifts. We cover lockout on complex machinery and energized troubleshooting on control circuits.
Venue electrical work is scheduled around games and concerts. Compressed windows are where crews skip steps, so we teach a short, repeatable risk assessment for energized work under time pressure.
Large events bring in generators, temporary distribution and broadcast trucks. We cover the hazards at the tie-in points between temporary and permanent systems.
Texas offers a journeyman industrial electrician license, and many plant electricians hold one. It does not stand in for the employer's NFPA 70E training and qualification record.

Texas: what applies to Arlington crews
Enforcement: federal OSHA
Texas is a federal OSHA state with no state plan. GM, the venues and private contractors are covered by federal OSHA. UT Arlington, Arlington ISD and city employees are public workers, which puts them outside OSHA coverage.
Licensing: TDLR
Electricians in Texas are licensed by TDLR at the apprentice, journeyman, journeyman industrial, maintenance and master levels. The license is good statewide.
Where NFPA 70E fits
NFPA 70E does not carry the force of law on its own. It is the consensus standard employers and inspectors use to show how the OSHA electrical requirements in 1910 Subpart S and 1926 Subpart K are met.
Arlington's electrical work environment
Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth, and its biggest industrial site has been running since 1954. GM's Arlington Assembly builds the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade. In 2023 GM committed more than $500 million to new stamping, body shop and assembly equipment for the next generation of large SUVs.
The entertainment district is the city's other large electrical load. AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Six Flags Over Texas sit within a few miles of each other. Their lighting, video boards and broadcast power are maintained on tight schedules set by game days and concerts.
UT Arlington, Texas Health Resources and the Great Southwest industrial district add more. Plant electricians, venue crews and campus maintenance staff often come from the same Tarrant County contractor pool.
Oncor and the competitive market
Oncor delivers power in Arlington, and businesses choose their own retail electric provider. The GM plant, the stadiums and UT Arlington each coordinate service work and planned outages with Oncor.
Venues depend on standby generation and transfer equipment to keep lighting and life-safety systems running through a grid problem, and the plant depends on it to protect production. Every generator, transfer switch and temporary feed is another source to identify and isolate before work begins.
