Lightning protection courses

In this course, we delve into the fundamental principles of lightning and its associated risks, as outlined in NFPA 780 – Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems. We explore the dangers of lightning strikes to both individuals and structures, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safety protocols. Participants will learn how to identify high-risk areas and develop strategies for minimizing lightning-related hazards.

This course is dedicated to highlighting the industry’s best practices in lightning protection, in alignment with NFPA 780 guidelines. We cover the latest technologies and methodologies used to safeguard structures and sensitive equipment against lightning-induced damage. Participants will gain insights into surge protection, grounding techniques, and proper bonding practices.

Here, we focus on the intricacies of designing effective lightning protection systems for ordinary structures such as residential buildings, offices, and small industrial facilities, following the principles outlined in NFPA 780. Participants will learn about risk assessment, selection of suitable protection measures, and the installation of lightning protection systems in compliance with relevant codes and standards.

Specialized structures, such as telecommunication towers, power plants, and wind turbines, require unique lightning protection approaches, as suggested in NFPA 780. This course delves into the specific challenges these structures face and explores tailored lightning protection solutions. Participants will gain expertise in designing and implementing lightning protection for such specialized applications.

An effective lightning protection system requires regular inspection and maintenance in accordance with NFPA 780 to ensure continuous protection. In this course, we emphasize the significance of routine system checks and timely repairs. Participants will learn how to conduct thorough inspections, identify potential issues, and maintain their lightning protection systems at peak performance.

Safety is paramount when individuals work outdoors or in open spaces, especially during thunderstorms. This course focuses on educating participants about lightning safety guidelines and protocols for personnel engaged in various outdoor activities, as per NFPA 780 recommendations. We cover lightning detection methods, risk assessment, and the appropriate actions to take during lightning events.
