About this event
Master essential electrical safety principles and advanced protocols to reduce risk, improve practices, and reinforce workplace safety standards.
Overview
Electricity isn’t just a convenience—it’s a risk when misunderstood or mishandled. This course dives deep into the world of electrical safety, from understanding the physiological effects of electricity to formulating structured workplace safety strategies. You’ll explore how to develop an effective safety programme, recognise hazards before they strike, and confidently apply best practices in high-risk environments.
With topics ranging from equipment inspection to accident procedures and functional safety in power transmission, this course speaks to those responsible for both safety planning and electrical operations. Whether reviewing protective clothing or conducting risk assessments, the content is sharply focused and expertly arranged to meet modern industry needs—without fuss, fluff or voltage-induced jargon.
