Electrical safety can pose severe hazards to human health. Nearly 1,000 accidents occur every year in the UK due to electric shocks, 30 of which are fatal, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Workers who deal directly with electricity, overhead power cables, installation equipment, and circuit assemblies are at most risk. But those who deal indirectly with electricity, such as office-based employees and construction workers, can be exposed to electricity dangers if control measures are absent.
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, business owners have a legal duty to ensure the health and welfare of all their employees at work. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 apply to the use of electricity in workplaces, including electrical supplies and electrical equipment. This legislation places responsibilities on employers, employees and contractors to ensure electrical safety testing and electrical equipment is correctly installed, used and maintained.
This is an awareness-level online Electrical Safety Training course intended for any individuals who work with electrical equipment, including non-electricians. The purpose of this course is to provide a thorough understanding of electricity, equipment and practical measures to stay safe.
The course provides a fundamental awareness of electricity, its sources and hazards, and practical measures to stay safe. Users will learn about essential safety precautions that must be taken to eliminate or minimise the risk of electrical injuries or accidents.
Electrical Safety Training explains the hazards and safeguards of working around electrical systems and equipment. This awareness course helps you eliminate or minimise the risk of electrical accidents and injuries.
Repeating any health and safety training every three years is best practice. Refreshing your electrical safety knowledge keeps it current and relevant to routine work. It’s also strongly recommended to repeat training after any change in your work circumstances or adverse events, including near misses. This training programme can be provided as an electrical safety refresher course.
Employees must be provided with electrical safety awareness in industries where electrical hazards are routinely present, such as construction, manufacturing, utilities and maintenance. Job roles such as electricians, technicians and engineers also need this training because of their guaranteed exposure to electrical risks.
Yes, the training covers how to handle shocks, burns and other electricity-related injuries until professional help arrives.
This online electrical safety course takes about 30 minutes to complete.
This Electrical Safety Awareness Certification is valid for three years. After this, it’s necessary to retake the training to renew your certification and refresh your knowledge.
Yes. This course is assured by RoSPA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents).
The three basic keys of electrical safety are recognition, avoidance, and control of hazards. This means workers must be able to identify electrical hazards in their environment, take steps to avoid direct or indirect contact with live circuits or equipment, and apply control measures such as lockout/tagout procedures, use of personal protective equipment, and adherence to safe work practices to prevent incidents.
