Electrical safety in the workplace

Electrical safety in the workplace

Do you or your employees need electrical safety training for in the workplace?

Electricity is the lifeblood of modern society, it enhances our quality of life and we are becoming increasingly reliant on it to power tools and devices we use for work and entertainment.

However, although electricity has many benefits it can also be a hidden killer as it can’t be seen, felt, smelled or heard until someone comes into contact with it.

Electrical safety in the workplace: what is covered?

This electrical safety in the workplace course will start by covering the many benefits electricity brings to society, as well as its key components voltage, current and resistance.

It will explain the two main types of electricity, cover UK accident and death statistics, and describe a simple way of remembering the electrical hazards.

It then goes on to provide basic instructions about how you could safely help someone you suspect has received an electric shock.

Towards the end of the course it includes an overview of the main standards, guidance and legislation that control the use of electricity in the workplace, and finish off by looking at simple maintenance plans and portable appliance testing including who within an organisation would be best to carry out the various checks.

Hannah Smith
Basic Fire Safety Awareness

Wonderful course, very easy to follow. Got me up to speed in no time at all on the basics of fire safety. Would recommend to others wishing to learn more about the basic principles of fire safety in the workplace.

Anne Davies
Asbestos Awareness

I enjoyed this course and found the interactive videos easy to follow.  The course content is well thought out and provided lots of useful information.  I passed each module with flying colours and feel I now understand the basics when it comes to asbestos awareness.  Would highly recommend this online course.

James Appleton
Level 1 Food Safety - catering

The level 1 food safety for catering course was easy to follow and I learned a lot.  I enjoyed the way the course was delivered and how it was broken down into small modules, which made it easier to learn.  I have since completed level 2 food safety too.
