The Electrical Safety – Basic Awareness Training is designed for non-electrical personnel who work near or around electrical systems. This course aims to demystify electrical hazards and provide the “rules of engagement” to prevent electric shock, arc flash, and electrical fires in industrial and commercial environments.
What You Will Learn
The Basics of Electricity: Understanding simple concepts like voltage, current, and resistance to recognize how electricity travels.
Hazard Recognition: Identifying common dangers such as frayed cables, overloaded circuits, and improper grounding.
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Awareness: Understanding the importance of “Zero Energy” states and recognizing the tags that mean “Do Not Operate.”
Safe Work Practices: How to maintain safe distances from live components and the importance of using insulated tools.
Effects on the Human Body: Learning how electric shock affects the heart and muscles, and why even low voltage can be fatal.
Emergency Response: Safe procedures for assisting a victim of electric shock without becoming a casualty yourself.
Key Benefits
Accident Prevention: Significantly reduces the risk of arc flash and electrocution through increased vigilance.
Workplace Compliance: Meets general health and safety requirements for employee training regarding workplace hazards.
Enhanced Safety Culture: Bridges the communication gap between general workers and qualified electricians.
