Aims of the Health & Safety 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.
