Aims of the Training

'Electrical Safety' aims to help your organisation be legally compliant with the Electricity at Work Regulations. It’s designed to promote a culture within your business that encourages everyone to consider the risks associated with working with electricity, and carry out safe procedures at all times.

Content

The 'Electrical Safety' course helps all levels of employees and managers meet the requirements of the Electricity Regulations by following the Health and Safety Executive’s Guidance note ‘Electrical Safety and You’ (INDG 231).

The course has the following sections:

• Introduction
• Electrical theory
• Electrical hazards and harm
• Workplace precautions and controls
• Self-Assessment

Assessment

The online assessment is taken on completion of the training material. You will be asked 15 multiple choice questions with a pass mark of 75%. 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 you need with no extra charge.

Duration

Approximately 30 minutes to complete the course in full. This can be spread out over multiple sessions or completed in a single session. There is no time limit for completion.

Do You Comply With Electricity at Work Regulations?

Does your organisation have people that use or work with electrical systems or equipment? If so, you will be required to undertake a risk assessment and train your employees.

• Do they know about the risks they run in working with electrical equipment and systems?
• Do they know how to identify obvious defects in electrical equipment?
• Do they know about the strict legal standards relating to working on or near live conductors?

If you answered 'no' to any of the above, then your organisation could be subject to an improvement notice, prosecution or an increased risk of a civil claim against the organisation. The provision of training is not a matter of choice or optional, it is an absolute legal requirement.

Every year, around 1,000 accidents at work involving electricity are reported to the HSE and about 30 people die of their injuries. Therefore approximately three people every day accidentally come into contact with electricity and every month two people die.
