In-person · Dallas, TXElectrical safety training in Dallas, TX
Dallas anchors a data center market that delivered more than 2 GW of new capacity in the first half of 2026, from the Infomart carrier hotel on Stemmons Freeway to the new campuses in Lancaster and Red Oak. We train the electricians and facility technicians who build and run them, at your facility or in an in-person class we set up in Dallas 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 Dallas crew
Crews we train in and around Dallas: data center construction and commissioning, colocation and interconnection, semiconductor manufacturing, hospitals, logistics and distribution, public employers.
What the class covers for Dallas crews
Generator yards and outdoor substations in a Dallas summer regularly pass 100 degrees. Arc-rated PPE adds heat load, so we plan energized tasks, work rotation and water breaks around it.
Texas licenses electricians through TDLR, and many of your crew will hold a journeyman or master license. NFPA 70E qualification is a separate employer determination, tied to the specific equipment and hazards. We show you how to document it.
Texas SB6 (2025) puts new ERCOT curtailment obligations on large loads. On big campuses, load-shed and transfer switching become planned operations, and each one needs a written procedure and a risk assessment.
In a multi-tenant building like the Infomart, your technicians work beside other tenants' equipment and the landlord's distribution. We cover how to coordinate lockout, permits and escorts when the electrical system belongs to more than one employer.

Texas: what applies to Dallas crews
Enforcement: federal OSHA
Texas has no OSHA state plan, so private employers answer to federal OSHA. Region 6 is headquartered in Dallas, and the Dallas Area Office is in Richardson. Texas city, county and school district employees are not covered by OSHA at all.
Licensing: TDLR, statewide
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation licenses apprentice, journeyman, master, journeyman industrial and maintenance electricians, plus electrical contractors. A state license is valid anywhere in Texas.
Where NFPA 70E fits
NFPA 70E is a consensus standard. Employers and OSHA inspectors use it to show how the electrical requirements in 1910 Subpart S and 1926 Subpart K are met, and OSHA can cite the General Duty Clause for recognized electrical hazards.
Dallas's electrical work environment
Dallas is the third-largest city in Texas and the business center of the Metroplex. The Infomart on Stemmons Freeway, operated by Equinix, is the region's primary carrier hotel and interconnection hub. South of the city, Lancaster, Red Oak and Midlothian are filling with campuses from Edged, Stack, Compass and Google.
The city's industrial base predates the data centers. Texas Instruments runs its DMOS6 wafer fab in Dallas, with its newer RFAB fabs just north in Richardson. Hospitals in the Southwestern Medical District, Dallas Love Field and the distribution centers along I-20 and I-45 all keep in-house electricians and contractors busy.
Work moves fast here. Commissioning on the southern campuses runs alongside live operations in finished buildings next door, often with the same contractor crews on both. That overlap is where energized-work discipline tends to slip, and it is where we spend much of our class time.
Oncor and the ERCOT grid
Oncor Electric Delivery, headquartered in Dallas, owns the poles and wires across the city. Businesses buy their power from a retail electric provider of their choice, so the company on the bill is usually not the one your crews call for outages and service work. Neighboring Garland is served by its own municipal utility, Garland Power & Light.
Oncor is fielding land inquiries and power requests at unprecedented rates and has added controls on entry into its queue (CBRE, H2 2025). Developers are bridging the wait with on-site gas generation and battery storage. For your crews, that puts generation-class switchgear and large battery systems inside the fence.
Who we train in Dallas and Dallas County
Electrical subs, commissioning agents and GC safety staff on the Lancaster, Red Oak and Midlothian campuses, energizing gear in phases next to occupied halls.
Critical facilities technicians at the Infomart and the metro's colocation buildings, where uptime commitments shape every outage request.
Facility electricians and contractors supporting the Texas Instruments fab in Dallas, where process power runs continuously.
Engineering staff in the Southwestern Medical District, maintaining essential electrical systems that cannot be down for long.
Maintenance technicians at distribution centers along I-20 and I-45, working on conveyors, battery chargers and switchboards.
City of Dallas, DART and school district electricians. Texas public employees fall outside OSHA, so a written electrical safety program is the main protection they have.

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.”
