This online training course is intended for maintenance workers who encounter electrical equipment during their work duties.
The purpose of this training course is to enable workers to practice electrical safety principles and procedures to ensure that they can work safely with electrical equipment.
Why Is Electrical Safety Principles Training Important?
Most electrical accidents happen during the maintenance of electrical equipment, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). These accidents commonly occur due to inadequately trained staff and/or unaddressed issues in the work environment. Even certified electricians can make mistakes that result in injury, damage to property, and legal penalties.
To avoid electrical accidents, employers must provide up-to-date training for any staff who work in any proximity to electrical equipment. Procedures for equipment maintenance should be current, clear, and effective. This helps businesses save money, keep employees safe, and avoid legal penalties.
Employers are legally compelled to ensure the health and safety of their employees, and electrical safety training is an important part of that duty.
