What Is Electrical Safety and Awareness?
In most modern workplaces, electrical hazards are hidden behind panels and boxes, but can still prove fatal if not handled properly. Electrocution occurs when the human body comes in direct contact with a live circuit, an exposed wire, or any other conductor.
Depending on several factors, electrical current running through the body can cause varying degrees of damage, from burns to respiratory failure and, ultimately, cardiac arrest. As such, employees must be trained to avoid electrical hazards, as well as prepared to respond to an electricity-related emergency.
Who Needs Electrical Safety and Awareness?
All employees who work near electricity, though not directly with it, can benefit from this course in Electrical Safety and Awareness. Employers must be equally aware of potential electrical hazards in their establishments, which means they must also undergo special training.
Although electricity is present in almost all modern work environments, employees in certain industries are at a higher risk of electricity-related injuries. These industries include:
- Oil & Gas,
- Seismic,
- Mining,
- Construction,
- Automotive & Manufacturing,
- Agriculture & Food,
- Office Work.
Who Is Responsible for Electrical Safety and Awareness Training?
To comply with the Government of Canada’s Occupational Health and Safety Act, employers must ensure a safe work environment for all employees. This includes the implementation of electrical safety and awareness training for employees who are at risk of electricity-related injury.
At the same time, it is workers themselves who must undergo the necessary safety courses and effectively apply the strategies they learn while at work. To improve their CVs prior to an interview, some candidates also choose to independently purchase and complete this course.
What Do You Need to Learn?
To become certified, you must understand the basics of energy flow, insulation, and barriers, as well as be able to explain the dangers associated with the improper use of electricity. Moreover, you will be asked to demonstrate awareness of the five primary electrical hazards for the human body and describe the safety measures can be implemented to avoid such perils in the workplace.
How Long Is the Certificate Valid?
Employees should review this course in Electrical Safety and Awareness on a yearly basis. Since electrical hazards can have potentially life-threatening consequences, it is essential that you remain up to speed with the latest safety standards.
What Other Courses Should I Take?
Electrical Safety and Awareness is usually acquired together with Personal Protective Equipment, Fire Safety, and/or Fire Extinguisher Training.
You can access an extensive list of safety courses recommended for your line of work by visiting our consultation page and selecting your specific job. The suggested package is meant to help you comply with regulations and maintain your safety in any work environment.
