Workplace Electrical Safety Training Course

Almost all worksites present electrical risks. Anyone required to work on or near energized electrical equipment must know how to work safely with and around it.

The ESTS course:

• Provides an understanding of the hazards of electricity and how to mitigate them.
• Guides you through a virtual electrical workplace to illustrate the hazards and safety concepts you need to be aware of.
• Familiarizes you with preventive and protective control measures and the principles to help you work safely.

By end of the program, you will have a good understanding of the electrical hazards you face at work, what they can do to you, and how to identify them.

This online course focuses on Workplace Electrical Safety and the effective management of the electrical hazards of arc flash and shock. It applies content from CSA Z462 Workplace electrical safety standards to allow you to identify and quantify arc flash and shock hazards.

The course includes:

• Guidance on applying a Plan, Do, Check and Act philosophy when you have to work with energized electrical equipment.
• Review of Occupational Health & Safety Regulatory requirements.
• A 3D Virtual Electrical Workplace (VEW) classroom allows for simulation-based training and reviews concepts in CSA Z462 as well as establishing the appropriate preventive and protective control measures.
