Electrical Safety Management Course
Electrical Safety Management Online Course - Live overhead and buried power lines
Contact with power lines and cables can be lethal, whether they are carrying a voltage as high as 400,000 volts or as low as 11,000 volts. For this reason, knowledge of how to manage safe working practices with live overhead and buried power lines is absolutely vital.
E-Learning Course Objectives:
Understand how to protect against contact with live overhead power lines
Explain the precautions necessary for safe passage under overhead power lines
Describe the precautions necessary for work under overhead power lines
List the key controls that are necessary for preventing contact with underground services
Course Duration:
15 minutes
Assessment:
The online assessment consists of multiple choice questions with a pass mark of 85%. The answers are marked automatically so that you’ll instantly know whether you passed. If you don't pass don't worry, you can take the test as many times as needed with no extra charge.

Electrical Safety Management - Controlling Electrical Hazards
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Memorandum of Guidance with which it is published, lay down comprehensive but non-technical requirements for ensuring that the hazards of electricity are properly controlled. This means that those working with, or in the vicinity of, high risk electrical hazards – or those managing such situations – must, having identified hazards, be able to select and put in place the most appropriate methods of controlling the risks that arise from those hazards.
E-Learning Course Objectives:
Understand key elements of electrical system construction.
Understand insulation and earthing requirements specified by Regulation.
Understand how people may be protected by electric shock.
Describe the protection of electrical systems:
Earthing
Construction
Insulation

Electrical Safety Management - Identifying High Risk Electrical Hazards
Those working with, or in the vicinity of, high risk electrical hazards – or those managing such situations – must be able to identify these hazards and understand the risk they present. This course discusses the most commonly encountered high risk electrical hazards, how they may be identified and the risks they present.
E-Learning Course Objectives:
Recognise portable electrical appliances:
What they are.
Why accidents occur.
Understand the risks and key precautions relating to:
Work on mains electrical supplies.
Overhead power lines.
Underground power lines.
Work in wet conditions.

Electrical Safety Management - Inspection Test and Maintenance
The requirement under Regulation 4 of the Electricity at Work Regulations is for “electrical systems to be constructed and maintained so as to prevent danger at all times”. The term ‘danger’ is defined as “the risk of injury from electric shock”, which means that the Regulations therefore require all electrical systems to be set up and maintained in such a way that they do not allow anyone to suffer injury as a result of electricity. The course enables the learner to understand this role and covers user checks, visual inspections, formal visual inspections, combined inspection and testing including PAT and electrical equipment safety in low-risk environments.
E-Learning Course Objectives:
User checks
Formal visual inspections
Combined inspection and testing – PAT
PAT competence
Combined inspection and testing – other areas
Control of electrical equipment safety in low-risk environments
Course Duration:

Electrical Safety Management - Principles of Electricity and Its Effects
This course does not provide any detailed technical knowledge of electricity or how to carry out electrical work. Instead it seeks to ensure that the learner has a general appreciation of what electricity is, and the ways in which it can cause harm to humans. This will enable the learner to identify and manage the precautions necessary to avoid electric shocks.
E-Learning Course Objectives:
Understand the terms ‘voltage’, ‘current’ and ‘resistance’
Understand the terms ‘voltage’, ‘current’ and ‘resistance’
Acknowledge an overview of Ohm’s Law
Explain the effects of electricity on the human body
Understand factors affecting electric shock
