ELECTRICAL SAFETY TRAINING

Electrical Safety – Awareness 

Electricity is all around us; and with it, come unique hazards associated with it. A fundamental knowledge and understanding of electricity provides necessary awareness for personnel who may come into close proximity to electrical hazards. In your work environment, qualified electrical workers may be present that are trained on the proper methods to control and protect themselves and others from electrical hazards, it is your responsibility to follow these protective methods. This results in a safer work environment for both you and the electrical worker.

The goal for this course is to increase knowledge and awareness for those who may not work on electrical equipment but are exposed to potential hazards of electricity in their work environment.
