Course Overview
Electricity is one of the most common and critical hazards in modern workplaces.
Unsafe electrical work can lead to electric shock, burns, electrocution, arc flash,
arc blast, fire, explosion, equipment damage and business interruption.
This 48-hour Electrical Safety Training Course provides practical
knowledge and workplace-based skills to help participants identify electrical hazards,
assess electrical risks, apply suitable control measures, follow Lockout/Tagout procedures,
use electrical PPE correctly and respond effectively to electrical emergencies.
Best suited for: electricians, electrical technicians, maintenance staff,
safety officers, supervisors, facility managers, engineers, contractors, construction teams,
warehouse personnel, laboratory staff and emergency response teams.
safety officers, supervisors, facility managers, engineers, contractors, construction teams,
warehouse personnel, laboratory staff and emergency response teams.
