COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

Every year, people working on maintenance activities and construction sites suffer electric shock and burn injuries some of which, tragically, are fatal. Many of these accidents are a direct consequence of electricians not implementing safe isolation procedures. Experience shows that electricians are particularly at risk of death or serious injury from electric shock or burns if they fail to follow safe working procedures. 

 

This course explains what needs to be done to make sure workers on site are not exposed to danger when working on or near live electrical systems and equipment. Its purpose is to provide practical guidance on the management of electrical safety, with particular emphasis on safe isolation procedures to be followed during construction and refurbishment projects, and during maintenance activities.
