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.
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.
This 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.
At Edify Training we understand only too well the pressures facing organisations today, with the need to achieve and retain regulatory compliance an ever-present concern that can distract from day-to-day operational activities.
With escalating costs, it can seem counter-intuitive to allocate money to training when budgets are already stretched, not to mention the effect on staffing levels when team members are diverted from their main duties to attend training sessions.
However, high-quality training is an investment in both your employees and your organisation, not only empowering staff to carry out their duties more productively with new found confidence, but also giving them a sense of value and greater job satisfaction which in turn results in greater workforce retention.
With options for elearning, virtual, blended and face-to-face training, we can provide customised training plans that work around your schedules, minimising disruption to day-to-day activities whilst optimising productivity – in essence a training solution that suits the needs of your organisation.
With over 150 courses available, we can work with you to identify the challenges facing your organisation, developing a bespoke training solution to address your specific needs and suit your budget. Using a variety of interactive techniques such as gamification, role play and case studies, information imparted during the sessions is retained more effectively by delegates.
