Electrical Safety

If not used properly, electricity can kill or severely injure people and cause property damage. Every year many accidents at work involving electric shock or burns are reported. These fatal incidents are often caused by contact with overhead power lines. Even non-fatal shocks can cause severe and permanent injury. For example, shocks from faulty equipment may lead to falls from ladders, scaffolds, or other work platforms. Those using or working with electricity may not be the only ones at risk – poor electrical installations and faulty electrical appliances can lead to fire, which may also cause death or injury to others. Most of these accidents can be avoided by careful planning and straightforward precautions. This Electrical Safety course will provide some basic measures to help you control the risks of using electricity at work. Electrical safety helps organisations achieve the obligations to fulfill legal requirements and Operational Control requirements of ISO 45001:2018.
