Electrical Safety Training
IIRSM & IOSH Accredited
Electricity powers the modern world, driving the tools, devices, and systems we depend on daily for work and leisure. While it provides countless benefits, electricity also poses significant risks as an invisible danger—only making its presence known when contact is made, sometimes with fatal consequences.
This comprehensive course delves into the advantages electricity offers while exploring its essential components, including voltage, current, and resistance. It introduces the two primary types of electricity, reviews UK statistics on accidents and fatalities related to electrical incidents, and presents an easy-to-remember framework for recognising electrical hazards.
Participants will also gain practical knowledge, such as how to safely assist someone suspected of experiencing an electric shock.
The course concludes with a thorough examination of the key standards, regulations, and guidance governing electricity use in the workplace. It highlights essential practices, such as creating maintenance plans, conducting portable appliance testing (PAT), and identifying who within an organisation is best equipped to handle these responsibilities.
