In-person · Provo, UTElectrical safety training in Provo, UT
Provo anchors Utah County, where Texas Instruments is building an $11 billion second chip fab in Lehi and new data center proposals keep landing. We train the electrical crews who keep Utah Valley's fabs, campuses and city power systems running, at your facility or in an in-person class we set up in Provo 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 →
Among the teams we have trained in the last year
Four ways to train your Provo crew
Crews we train in and around Provo: semiconductor, data centers, municipal electric utilities, universities, power generation, tech campuses.
What the class covers for Provo crews
Semiconductor tools, process utilities and cleanroom systems carry shock and arc flash exposures most commercial electricians never see. We adjust examples for crews who support fab equipment.
TI's second fab connects to a running fab. We cover the handoff from construction rules to an operating electrical safety program and the duties of host and contract employers.
Provo, Lehi, Springville and Spanish Fork crews work for municipal electric systems. Utah's state plan covers them, and we train them on the same content as any private crew.
Fuel cell and gas generation behind the meter puts paralleling gear and multiple sources inside a data center fence. We teach lockout and verification for equipment fed from more than one direction.

Utah: what applies to your crews
Enforcement: UOSH state plan
UOSH covers Utah County's private employers and its public ones, from BYU contractors to Provo City Power and the county's school districts. A school district electrician in Provo and a contractor on a Lehi fab site answer to the same agency.
Licensing: statewide
DOPL licenses Utah electricians at the state level, and Utah adopts the NEC statewide through the State Construction Code. Licensing covers how systems are installed, not how workers stay safe while maintaining them.
Where NFPA 70E fits
UOSH does not enforce NFPA 70E. Employers in Utah County use it as the way to meet the federal electrical standards Utah adopts, and UOSH can still use the state act's general duty provision for a known hazard.
Provo's electrical work environment
Lehi is the center of Utah's chip industry. Micron and Intel's IM Flash made about 1 in 14 of the world's flash memory chips there in 2013, and Texas Instruments bought the plant in 2021. TI broke ground on a second 300-mm fab next to it on November 7, 2023, with about 800 new jobs and first production expected as early as 2026. Adobe, Ancestry, Microsoft and Oracle have offices along the same I-15 stretch known as Silicon Slopes.
Provo itself runs on a university and tech payroll. Brigham Young University employs 5,000 to 6,999 people and enrolls more than 30,000 students. Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and Vivint each employ 3,000 to 3,999, and Qualtrics and Nu Skin keep headquarters here. Provo Municipal Airport has been an Allegiant base since 2022.
Data centers are pushing south. Meta's Eagle Mountain campus sits in northern Utah County, and in September 2026 Spanish Fork's council voted 3 to 2 to allow data centers, opening the door for Provo-based Volition's plan to convert the million-square-foot former Fingerhut warehouse into a 250 MW facility powered by Bloom Energy fuel cells.
Fabs, campuses and power plants around Utah Lake
Utah County mixes a chip fab buildout, a major university, gas generation and a wave of data center proposals. These are the projects that matter most for electrical crews.
| Site | What is there | Status |
|---|---|---|
| LFAB1 300-mm fab Texas Instruments | Former Micron and IM Flash plant in Lehi bought by TI in 2021. | Operating |
| LFAB2 300-mm fab Texas Instruments | $11 billion fab connected to LFAB1; groundbreaking in November 2023 with about 800 new jobs. | Under construction |
| Lake Side Power Plant Rocky Mountain Power | 1,203 MW natural gas plant in Vineyard. | Operating |
| Brigham Young University BYU | Provo's largest employer, with more than 30,000 students. | Operating |
| Spanish Fork data center Volition | 250 MW proposal in the former Fingerhut warehouse, powered by on-site fuel cells, after a September 2026 zoning change. | Planned |
| Clover Creek Solar Utah Municipal Power Agency (offtaker) | 80 MWac solar project near Mona contracted by UMPA, whose members include Provo and Spanish Fork. | Operating |
| Adobe Lehi campus Adobe | Engineering, product and operations offices with about 900 employees in one building. | Operating |
City power systems and Rocky Mountain Power
Utah County has more city-owned electric systems than most of the state. Provo City Power and Spanish Fork belong to the Utah Municipal Power Agency, which is based in Spanish Fork and also serves Nephi, Salem, Manti and Levan. UMPA contracted the 80 MWac Clover Creek solar project near Mona. Orem and much of the rest of the county are served by Rocky Mountain Power.
Rocky Mountain Power's 1,203 MW Lake Side gas plant sits on the east shore of Utah Lake in Vineyard. With large loads stacking up, developers are building their own supply. Volition's Spanish Fork plan would rely on fuel cells instead of the grid, drawing grid power only during construction.

Questions from Provo employers
We are a municipal power department in Utah County. Does UOSH apply to us?
Can you train our fab construction crews before energization?
Do BYU and other campus staff need a full qualified worker class?
We only have a few people in Orem. How can they train?
Does finishing the class make someone a qualified electrical worker?
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.”
