Course overview
Electricity is something we take for granted. It’s like a magic force that lives in plugs so we can watch TV, make a cuppa, or even do online training. We’re so used to it, that we only really think about it when it disappears during a power cut.
But electricity is a dangerous power that needs careful consideration. From just microwaving your soup at lunch, to working with or around larger electrical equipment, handling electricity like the deadly force it is, is vital for keeping you, and everyone else, safe.
Learning objectives:
- Identify the main types of electrical hazards and define how each could affect you or your working environment
- Recognise signs of faulty equipment and identify the appropriate action to ensure you and others are safe
- Identify the appropriate steps to take if someone suffers an electrocution accident in your workplace to help preserve life
- Demonstrate understanding of safe working practices to ensure your workplace remains compliant with regulations
