About this course

What the Electrical Safety course covers

Electrical Safety runs online from start to finish, so you decide when you study and how much you cover at a time. The material comes as 5 modules and takes about 45 minutes end to end. There is no clock on it, so a week off in the middle changes nothing.

The course works through Overview and Benefits of Electricity, How Electricity Can Cause Harm, Legislation, Standards, and Key Steps and PAT Testing Standards and Guidance. There are 1 further modules beyond those, listed in full on the Modules tab.

The provider grades it intermediate, so it moves through the fundamentals quickly rather than teaching them. We list 98 Compliance & Risk courses, of which 46 sit at Intermediate. At this length it is one of the quicker ones in the subject. CPD accreditation is included, so the training evidences itself for an appraisal or an inspection.

Worth knowing before you buy: It is not an awareness course: if the subject is completely new to you, something introductory will be better value.

Course Description

Electricity is the lifeblood of modern society, it enhances our quality of life and we are becoming increasingly reliant on it to power tools and devices we use for work and entertainment. However, although electricity has many benefits it can also be a hidden killer as it can’t be seen, felt, smelled or heard until someone comes into contact with it.

This course will start by covering the many benefits electricity brings to society, as well as its key components voltage, current and resistance. It will explain the two main types of electricity, cover UK accident and death statistics, and describe a simple way of remembering the electrical hazards. It then goes on to provide basic instructions about how you could safely help someone you suspect has received an electric shock.

Towards the end of the course, it includes an overview of the main standards, guidance, and legislation that control the use of electricity in the workplace, and finish off by looking at simple maintenance plans and portable appliance testing including who within an organisation would be best to carry out the various checks.
