OSHA Electrical Safety Training Course
This OSHA electrical standards course helps students understand the electrical safety measures for medical and dental office workers and also for other employees and contractors who are exposed to hazardous work conditions dealing with energized parts, electrical equipments and live wires.
Employees who undergo this training course can protect them and others from the danger of electric shocks, electrocution, burn injuries, explosion or fire. Workers who are assigned responsibilities in places having electrical hazards must undergo this course and get certified before entering into the risk-prone zones.
Governing regulations
Our online occupational electrical safety course has been formulated to satisfy the training parameters as prescribed by OSHA’s 29 CFR § 1910.301 to 1910.399 Electrical Safety Standard.
Course Overview
The course trains students to gain awareness and skills to follow OSHA’s General Industry Electrical standards 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S (1910.301 to 1910.399) and provides safety to workers in medical and dental offices against various electrical hazards. The training also covers compliance procedures, critical safety standards, types of electrical hazards and also various hazard controls measures that can be used to provide safe and healthy environment for workers.
Who Must Take this Course?
According to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.332 training standard under Scope(a), employees, who are likely to face electrical hazards such as electric shock and also those who are involved in electrical installations following the requirements of §1910.303 through 1910.308.
Employees in occupations listed in Table S-4 may also face electrical risk and hence are suggested to be trained. TABLE S-4 lists typical occupational categories of employees who face higher than normal risks of electrical accidents.
Categories of workers who should do this course include: Electricians, Electrical and electronic engineers, Stationary engineers, Welders, Blue collar supervisors, Electrical and electronic technicians, Electrical and electronic equipment assemblers, Material handling equipment operators, Industrial machine operators, Painters, Riggers and roustabouts and Mechanics.
Employers should take a call on joining their workers to this course to increase safety awareness and reduce the risk of accidents due to electrical hazards.
Course Format
