      Hi everyone

      Welcome to the introduction to Electrical Safety course.

      In this course, you will be introducing with issues (statistics) associated with poor electrical safety in the labs and types of electrical hazards.


    • Types of electrical hazards

      Electricity is an important part of our modern world and sometimes it is easy to forget just how dangerous it can be.

      Given the correct circumstances, electricity can cause serious injuries or even death.



    • Requirements for protect from electrical hazards

      To avoid injuries, you should be aware of electrical hazards. Some of the most common electrical hazards are:

      •Exposed electrical parts
      •Overloaded circuits
      •Defective insulation
      •Improper grounding
      •Damaged power tools
      •Overhead power lines
      •Wet conditions

    • By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

      •Identify the different types of PPE used in the workplace
      •Explain the importance of the correct selection and use of PPE
      •Describe the basic types of PPE
      •Describe the requirements for properly storing and maintaining PPE

    • Types of PPE
