Objective of Electrical Safety Training Course

Electrical Safety Training Course objective is developed to the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize, evaluate and control electrical hazards in the workplace. This training aims to ensure the safety and well-being of workers by providing a comprehensive understanding of electrical systems, proper handling of electrical equipment and adherence to safety protocols. Workers will learn about key concepts such as lockout/tagout procedures, the importance of grounding and bonding, electrical shock and arc flash prevention and the use of personal protective equipment.

Electrical Safety Course Module

TIME DURATION 20 MINUTES 28 SECONDS

Electricity can kill or severely injure people and cause property damage. However, taking simple precautions when working with or near electricity and electrical equipment can significantly reduce the risk of injury. Whenever you work with power tools or on electrical circuits, there is a risk of electrical hazards, especially electrical shock. Anyone can be exposed to these hazards at home or work. Coming in contact with an electrical voltage can cause current to flow through the body, resulting in electrical shock and burns. Serious injury or even death may occur.

LOGOUT AND TAGOUT (LOTO)

TIME DURATION 17 MINUTES 51 SECONDS

Lockout Tagout (LOTO) is a safety procedure used in industrial and manufacturing settings to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not started up again during maintenance or servicing. Throughout this session, we’ll explore what LOTO is and its critical purpose in protecting workers from hazardous energy sources. We’ll discuss the various forms of hazardous energy present in our workplace, learn how to implement energy isolation procedures effectively and understand the importance of lockout and tagout devices.

ARC WELDING AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY

TIME DURATION 11 MINUTES 4 SECONDS

Arc welding is a widely used industrial process for joining metals by generating intense heat through an electric arc. This process is crucial in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive. While arc welding is essential, it also presents significant electrical hazards that must be addressed to ensure workplace safety. This presentation aims to educate employees on the risks associated with arc welding and provide guidance on electrical safety measures to mitigate these risks.

EXTENSION CORD

TIME DURATION 15 MINUTES 58 SECONDS

Extension cords provide a convenient method, of bringing AC power to a device not located near a power source. They are also used as temporary power sources. Improper use of extension cords can lead to shock hazards. In addition to this, the use of an undersized extension cord results in an overheated cord, and insufficient voltage delivered to the device, thus causing device or cord failure and a fire hazard. If Extension cords are placed in a walkway then, they can also pose trip and fall hazards.

STATIC ELECTRICITY

TIME DURATION 22 MINUTES 35 SECONDS

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it can move away using an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy. In this training aid, we will find answers to the following questions. What is static electricity? What causes it? How is it hazardous? And, most importantly, how can it be controlled? Let’s start with an introduction.

SOLVENTS

TIME DURATION 31 MINUTES 22 SECONDS

Potential threat to the Health, productivity, and efficiency of workers in most occupations and industries is their exposure to organic solvents. No one fully comprehends the total effect, yet all of us are exposed and we all are affected. Exposure to solvents occurs throughout life, from conception to death. EXP : 1. Solvents irritate the eyes and the respiratory tract. 2. Organic solvents pose a potential threat to workers health and efficiency in most Occupation and industries. 3. Cleaning solvents can be harmful to workers.
