Electrical Safety covers these topics and more:

Current, resistance, voltage, conductors, insulators and grounding
Types of electrical hazards
Electrical protection methods

Overview

Benefits of Electrical Safety Training

Electricity can be dangerous and potentially deadly if not handled properly. Providing workers with the knowledge and skills needed to work safely around electricity helps prevent electrical hazards that can cause electrocution, burns, shock and fires.

Electrical hazards, such as wiring deficiencies, improper grounding and overloaded circuits, are among the leading causes of electrical shock, fire and arc flash. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) expects employers to make electrical safety procedures and practices part of regular work processes.

Employers are responsible for conducting electrical hazard analysis, creating electrical safety plans, providing safety training and having an emergency response plan should an electrical incident occur.
