What e-Hazard does

e-Hazard Management, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned training and professional services firm headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in July 2004 by arc flash expert Hugh Hoagland and former Alcoa global electrical safety committee chair Bill Shinn. The company delivers NFPA 70E, OSHA, and NESC-aligned electrical safety education across instructor-led open enrollment classes (online and at Louisville/Charleston training centers), on-site customized corporate training, and a computer-based self-paced program for low voltage and task operator audiences, supplemented by a Train the Trainer certification that has produced over 1,000 in-house trainers.

The service portfolio spans the full electrical safety lifecycle: arc flash studies, coordination studies, short circuit studies, harmonic studies, and arc flash hazard mitigation; safety audits, NFPA 70B gap analyses, incident investigations, and written electrical safety program development; plus LOTO procedure writing, infrared thermography, and specialty courses for utilities (OSHA 1910.269), electric vehicle technicians, and managers. Core proprietary assets include the e-Hazard Safety Cycle methodology (Envision/Execute/Evaluate/Evolve), a deep content library of white papers and videos extending back to 1985, the Plugged Into Safety podcast, and credentialing partnerships with IEEE and ICC.

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees (per-seat open enrollment, project-based on-site training and engineering studies, hourly consulting) plus subscription/recurring revenue from the self-paced CBT product. Customers span electric utilities (Duke Energy, Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric, Bonneville Power Administration, Manitoba Hydro, Western Area Power Administration, Southern Nuclear), major industrials (BASF, Toyota, Honeywell), and technology buyers (Microsoft). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with relationship-based selling, supported by content marketing, webinars, the podcast, and a Latin America business development build-out.
