Electrical Safety Training Requirements

Nothing matters more than the safety and wellbeing of our employees and contractors. To ensure a safe and healthy workplace, we continue building on foundational programs that have, over the past several years, contributed to significant improvements in our overall safety results.

One critical safety control that we have is to ensure the contractors that we hire are competent for their tasks, at both company and individual levels. Cargill contractors are expected to be Cargill Safety Qualified before they are allowed to commence work at any Cargill sites.

To meet individual competency requirements, contractor shall provide necessary industry training to workers to enable them to work safely and record details of training given (such as worker’s name, date, topic, and training). The Contractor must review with and educate all personnel with the accepted of Project/Work Scope EHS procedures and practices prior to the commencement of work.

This training may include, but not limited to a site-specific orientation and quiz, OSHA 10 hr. construction or equivalent training, LIFEsavers and SIF training, Emergency Action Plan, and task-specific training.

All EHS Training and competency documentation (e.g., Record of Orientations, Certifications, Licenses, Qualifications, Competency Assessments, Comprehension Evaluations) shall be maintained on site or on the Cargill Third-party Worker Management Platform if available.

Cargill and Cargill Contractors need to ensure that individual workers comply with Cargill’s Global EHS requirement 5.5.3 Electrical Training and Qualification Procedures.

Electrical safety training gaps can be completed by assigning the relevant eLearning training modules to the individual contractor on Cargill Third-party Worker Management Platform. If Cargill Third-party Worker Management Platform is not available, the individual worker can complete the applicable training(s) on this website as an interim solution and provide the training completion record to Cargill hiring supervisor before individual site access can be granted.
