Electricity

• 30 Minutes
• For all staff
• UK

This 30-minute course covers the risks electricity presents at work and what staff should do about them. It explains how to identify electrical hazards, the action needed to maintain safety around electrical equipment, and the control measures the company has put in place, from portable appliance arrangements through to what to do when equipment looks damaged.

Electrical incidents are rare and severe, which is exactly why complacency builds. Damaged leads, overloaded sockets and unauthorised equipment brought from home are the everyday causes, and none of them get reported unless people know they should be. Training all staff gives your electrical safety arrangements the reporting layer they depend on, and supports your duties under the Electricity at Work Regulations.
