- Understanding and utilizing the equipment used in lightning protection system installation per the NFPA780, LPI 175 and UL96a standards for the installation of lightning protection systems, such as air terminals, air terminal bases, fasteners, adhesives, conductor clamps, equipotential bonding clamps and lightning protection grounding equipment, etc.
- Understanding names and uses of the various tools used in the installation of lightning protection systems. Includes utilizing proper care and maintenance of all tools, and what each tool is used for. Tools included will range from hand tools – wrenches, tape measures, screwdrivers, pliers, utility knives, socket wrenches, levels, hammers, etc. to battery powered and corded tools – demolition hammers, hammer drills, reciprocating saws, exothermic welding equipment, corded and cordless drills, etc.
- Implementing the basic lightning protection system installation methods at a commercial and residential job site safely. Including a minimum of OSHA safety training and safety training for all tools and materials.
- Selecting proper materials and how to properly load into work vehicles and what the procedures are for restocking of materials.
- Applying procedures for documenting work hours and all administrative tasks that apply.

- Assisting in gathering materials from stock room.
- Loading and unloading materials and tools at the job site.
- Air terminal installation for concealed and exposed systems in compliance with LPI 175, NFPA 780, and UL96a standards for lightning protection system installation.
- Installation of lightning protection conductors and in compliance with fastening requirements and conductor routing rules set forth in LPI, UL, and NFPA standards.
- Installation of grounding equipment, ground rods, plates, and radials using equipment rated for lightning protection systems and direct burial.
- Installation of equipotential utility bonds and equipotential secondary bonds. Equipotential secondary bonding at the roof level includes bonding to plumbing vents, drains, metal chimneys, vents, roof top units, antennas and any other grounded metal object located within the required bonding distance to the lightning protection system. This bonding is installed to avoid the potential for flashover in the event of a lightning strike. This bonding is required per NFPA 780 4.15 and is not a part of the electrical system.
- Working with power tools, hand tools, and ladders. Utilizing proper and safe use of all types of ladders and lifts.
