OSHA Electrical Safety Training
(29 CFR 1910.331(a)(1-4))
A serious workplace hazard, electricity is so commonplace that we often take it for granted, yet if handled improperly it can result in electric shock, fire or explosions, even electrocution.
This online training course is for employees and contractors who work near exposed energized parts and addresses the OSHA compliance requirements for electrical safety training outlined in 29 CFR 1910.331(a)(1-4).
Persons taking this course also need Personal Protective Equipment (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132-1910.138) training.
(see our complete list of courses)
This training uses schematic diagrams, illustrations, and animations to help students to better understand:
The basic principles of electricity;
The dangers posed by electricity and the factors that affect the severity of electrical shock;
The special hazards around overhead power lines;
How to safely work with electricity, wiring, tools and electrical equipment;
How to deal with electrical emergencies.
Persons in the following occupations are required by OSHA to be trained in electrical safety:
- Electricians
- Welders
Persons in the following occupations must also receive electrical safety training if their job duties bring them close enough to exposed parts of electric circuits, operating at 50 volts or more to ground, for a hazard to exist:
- Supervisors
- Electrical and electronic engineers
- Electrical and electronic equipment assemblers
- Electrical and electronic technicians
- Industrial machine operators
- Material handling equipment operators
- Mechanics and repairers
- Painters
- Riggers and roustabouts
- Stationary engineers
Also covered in the course, in an effort to help the student understand the importance of de-energizing ALL electrical circuits and unplugging ALL equipment before work on them begins, is the often overlooked yet very real danger of low-voltage electrical equipment like we find with common household appliances.
Upon successful completion of our OSHA Electrical Safety course each student will have access to a printable certificate and wallet card.
This course satisfies the requirements of the OSHA Electrical Safety standard (29 CFR 1910.331(a)(1-4)).
