In-person · Eagle Mountain, UTElectrical safety training in Eagle Mountain, UT
Eagle Mountain zoned land for data centers early, and Meta, QTS, Google and Tract have all landed in its technology overlay west of Utah Lake. We train the electrical crews who build, commission and run these campuses, at your facility or in an in-person class we set up in Eagle Mountain when you ask.
Utah runs its own OSHA-approved state plan. Private employers here are inspected by Utah Occupational Safety and Health (UOSH) Division, Utah Labor Commission, not federal OSHA. Every class is live, on the 2027 edition of NFPA 70E, and taught by a Certified Safety Professional. Utah electrical safety training requirements →

Four ways to train your Eagle Mountain crew
Crews we train in and around Eagle Mountain: hyperscale operations, data center construction, commissioning, utility and substation, mechanical contractors, public employers.
What the class covers for Eagle Mountain crews
New halls are energized next to buildings already carrying live load. We cover the transition from construction lockout to the operating electrical safety program and who controls each piece of gear.
A campus fed by a 1,000 MW substation brings medium-voltage switching inside the fence. We cover the hazards of medium-voltage work and the boundaries that apply to it.
Data halls rely on large UPS systems and battery strings that stay energized when the upstream breaker opens. We spend time on stored energy, DC hazards and verifying absence of voltage on battery systems.
Critical facility teams are small and run around the clock. We cover how to plan energized work and document who does what when a shift has only two people on site.

Utah: what applies to your crews
Enforcement: UOSH state plan
Every data center construction site in Eagle Mountain falls under UOSH, Utah's state plan agency within the Labor Commission. UOSH also covers the city's own employees, so Eagle Mountain public works crews are inside the same enforcement system as the contractors.
Licensing: statewide
Utah requires a DOPL license for electrical work, with apprentices working under supervision. A license proves NEC installation knowledge. It is not NFPA 70E qualification, which the employer still has to train and document.
Where NFPA 70E fits
UOSH does not enforce NFPA 70E. Data center owners and contractors here use it to show how they meet the adopted 1910 Subpart S and 1926 Subpart K rules, and UOSH can turn to the state general duty provision for a recognized hazard.
Eagle Mountain's electrical work environment
Eagle Mountain went from 2,157 residents in 2000 to 43,623 in 2020 and an estimated 66,557 in 2025, and data centers have grown with it. The city created a Regional Technology Innovation overlay that allows data centers, advanced manufacturing and R&D by right, with expedited site plan and permit review. The mayor has said the city picked data centers early to employ residents and pay for infrastructure.
Meta was first. Announced in May 2018 as a $750 million, roughly 970,000 square foot project in the Sweetwater Industrial Park, the campus grew through expansions in 2019, 2020 and 2022 to seven buildings and about 4.5 million square feet on 488 acres, with total investment of $1.5 billion. Its more than $100 million in infrastructure spending included a new substation with 1,000 MW of delivery capacity and buys 100 percent net-new renewable energy through Rocky Mountain Power's renewable tariffs.
Others followed. Google bought a 300-acre parcel in the city, QTS is building a campus, and Denver-based Tract bought more than 668 acres in January 2024 for master-planned data center parks. Each new hall brings switchgear, UPS systems, generators and medium-voltage feeders, and with them a steady flow of electrical contractors and commissioning agents.
Hyperscale campuses in the Regional Technology Innovation overlay
Eagle Mountain is one of the few Utah cities built around data center zoning. These are the campuses and land holdings driving electrical work in the city.
| Site | What is there | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Meta Eagle Mountain campus Meta | Seven buildings and about 4.5 million square feet on 488 acres; first building fully operational in 2021. | Operating |
| Meta campus substation Not disclosed | Built as part of Meta's project with 1,000 MW of delivery capacity. | Operating |
| QTS Eagle Mountain QTS | Multi-building data center campus under construction in 2026. | Under construction |
| Google Eagle Mountain site | 300-acre parcel bought for a future data center campus. | Planned |
| Tract data center parks Tract | More than 668 acres bought in January 2024, with 400+ MW planned through new transmission by 2028. | Planned |
Rocky Mountain Power and the transmission buildout
Rocky Mountain Power serves Eagle Mountain's data centers. Meta was the first customer on its Electric Service Schedule 34 renewable tariff, which lets a large customer buy net-new renewable energy for its load. The substation built for Meta's campus has 1,000 MW of delivery capacity.
New capacity depends on new lines. Tract is working with Rocky Mountain Power to bring more than 400 MW to its Eagle Mountain land through new transmission by 2028. Until those lines and substations are energized, construction schedules tend to slip and then compress, which is when commissioning crews are under the most pressure.

Can you train a commissioning team before the first hall is energized?
Do your classes cover UPS and battery systems?
Our electricians travel between several data center campuses. Do they need site-specific training?

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.”
