Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) now offers three electrical safety courses to meet the diverse needs of our personnel. These courses are designed to meet regulatory requirements and enhance workplace safety for everyone involved.
- The Electrical Safety Low Voltage Qualified course is designed for skilled trades supervisors, engineers, electricians, and others working with low voltage circuits. This comprehensive 8-hour training covers safe work practices, personal protective equipment requirements, and establishing electrically safe work conditions. This course is mandatory for University personnel who are qualified to work on exposed energized parts operating between 50 and 600 volts to ground and requires retraining every three years.
- Non-qualified personnel who have the potential to be exposed to energized parts through their work activities are required to take the 2-hour Electrical Safety in the Workplace. This course addresses general safety regulations, hazard identification, and personal protective equipment requirements, catering to non-qualified individuals. Retraining is also required every three years.
- Additionally, our Electrical Safety Awareness Online course offers basic safety awareness and recognition skills for personnel who don't directly engage with energized electrical parts. While not mandatory, it's a valuable resource for enhancing electrical safety awareness.
