Electrical Safety: 02. Safe Work Practices and PPE

This course on Electrical Safety: 02. Safe Work Practices and PPE makes employees aware of the most common causes of electrical accidents. Unsafe practices include failure to de-energize equipment before servicing, letting unqualified employees work on energized equipment, using tools too close to energized equipment and forgetting to post warnings and barricades around work areas exposed to electrical hazards. This program helps you work while keeping safety in mind.

During this course we will discuss the electrical safety regulations put in place by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We cover the necessity for electrical work permits, the use of insulated tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) and, for managers, how to create a written safety program for your facility. After taking this course, downloadable materials are available for further review.
