Legacy EV Level 2 High Voltage Safety Virtual Series

To enroll in the Level 2 Certification Series, you must complete the Level 1 online course at least 2 days before the first Level 2 webinar. All prework for each Level 2 webinar must be submitted by 11:59 PM PST the night before the session. Attendance at all 4 live sessions is mandatory to earn certification, with one allowed absence per series. However, any late submission of prework will also be counted as an absence. Missing more than one prework deadline or a webinar will result in automatic unenrollment from the series.

Session 1: Introduction to EV and Workplace Safety Systems

Tuesday, April 29, 2025, 4pm PST


This live session covers key topics related to electric vehicle (EV) safety, including risk assessments, pre-use inspections, and the intrinsic safety features of EVs. The session will provide an overview of high voltage components, safety mechanisms integrated into EV design, and the protocols necessary for safe handling and maintenance. Emphasis will be placed on understanding safety systems within electric vehicles and ensuring safe working practices with high voltage systems.

Required PreWork: Module 1 EV Safety Foundations

Due Monday, April 28, 2025 at 11:59 pm PST 

  • Risks Associated with Electric Vehicle Repair
  • High Voltage Components and Safety Systems
  • Emergency Response Guides

Session 2: Creating an Electrically Safe Work Condition

Thursday, May 1, 2025, 4PM PST


This live session covers the process of creating an Electrically Safe Work Condition to prevent electrical injuries in high voltage environments. Topics include the procedures for disconnecting low and high voltage circuits, conducting Zero Voltage Verification (ZVV), and following safe work practices in compliance with OSHA regulations. Key steps include lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, proper disconnection of high voltage battery systems, and methods for verifying the absence of voltage. The webinar will also address the importance of temperature monitoring, use of appropriate tools and PPE, and maintaining safety during electrical work.

Required PreWork: Module 2 Electrically Safe Work Practices

Due Wednesday, April 30, 2025, 11:59PM PST

  • Defining an "Electrically Safe Work Condition" 
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Testing and Selection 
  • Electric Vehicle Maintenance Flow: HV Disablement

Session 3: EV Maintenance Flow: Vehicle Initialization

Tuesday, May 6, 2025, 4pm PST

This live session guides participants through the essential safety and diagnostic procedures required to return an electric vehicle to service after high-voltage repairs. Learners will explore the EV Initialization Maintenance Flow with a focus on demonstrations using a milliohm meter and a megohmmeter to perform safety checks, including bonding tests, Hioki measurements, and insulation resistance tests. Through hands-on comparisons between multimeters and milliohm meters, participants will evaluate conductor resistance and its impact on heat generation, diagnose joint integrity in high-voltage contactor boxes, and interpret stator winding resistance data to assess motor health. The session also covers grounding and electrical isolation checks aligned with FMVSS 305 and ECE-R-100 standards, ensuring vehicles are safely initialized and ready for operation.

Required PreWork: Module 3 Vehicle Initialization Protocols 

Due Monday, May 5, 2025 at 11:59 pm PST 

  • Essential Measurement Tools for Vehicle Initialization  
  • Bonding Tests & Hioki Measurements
  • Insulation Resistance Tests

Session 4: Level 2 High Voltage Safety Skills Assessment

Thursday, May 8, 2025

This final session provides an opportunity for participants to demonstrate their proficiency in creating an electrically safe work condition when shutting down a high voltage system. Attendees will demonstrate their ability to disconnect low and high-voltage circuits, perform zero voltage verification (ZVV), and apply safe work practices in compliance with OSHA regulations. Key skills to be demonstrated include appropriate PPE and tool selection, proper disconnection of high voltage battery systems, and methods for verifying the absence of voltage. Proficiency in these skills is required to earn certification.
