What you are going to learn

This online electrical safety training course is designed to help workers understand the nature and risks of electrical accidents. Increased electrical awareness is essential to reduce this serious workplace hazard and prevent unsafe electrical conditions from occurring. Course topics include applicable regulations, design safety standards, and safety-related work practices.

Electricity is an essential component of modern life, both at home and in the workplace. However, electrical hazards such as shock, burns, fires, and explosions put employees at risk of accidents, injuries, and even death. The human body conducts electricity, so even a low-level current can cause indirect or secondary injuries, including falls, bruises, and bone fractures.

Who This Course is For

This OSHA electrical safety training is designed for anyone who faces a risk of electric shock or other electrical hazards. This includes electrical/electronic engineers, equipment assemblers, technicians, and electricians. Industrial machine operators, material handling equipment operators, mechanics, painters, riggers, welders, and electrical safety officers must also be trained, as well as anyone who may be reasonably expected to encounter electrical hazards.

Safety training may help prevent serious injury in the workplace and can save lives.

This online training course meets the requirements set forth by OSHA for electrical courses for general industry.

Case Study: On August 28, 2018, a 33-year-old man was found dead at the Utah state archives building. The man was doing electrical work on an upper floor, in a corner room not easily visible to the rest of the workers, when he was electrocuted. While other workers were in the building at the time, none of them saw what happened, and the man’s body remained undetected overnight.

Key Takeaway: This accident was likely the result of a failure to de-energize, lock out, tag out, and ground the electrical circuit before performing work. OSHA is still investigating this accident.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor, is charged with the enforcement of safety and health conditions of workers through the use of regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. OSHA regulations are published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1910 addresses general industry standards. OSHA's electrical standard is contained in 1910 Subpart S.
