Electrical Safety in the Workplace
Description of the training
Electrical Safety Training Based on CSA Z462
This training provides a complete overview of electrical safety practices based on the CSA Z462 standard. It is intended for anyone working in environments where electrical hazards are present, including voltages equal to or above 30V AC or 60V DC—such as employees, temporary workers, and subcontractors. The course follows a continuous improvement approach and is updated regularly to reflect the latest CSA Z462 requirements.
What You'll Learn
- Safe practices to prevent electric shocks, arc flash burns, thermal burns, explosions, and falls due to shock.
- The responsibilities of employers, workers, and subcontractors in preventing electrical incidents.
- How to assess risks, understand safety boundaries, and correctly use personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the two main electrical hazards: electric shock and arc flash.
- Understand the effects and physiological risks associated with each hazard.
- Recognize the legal and safety responsibilities of employers, workers, and subcontractors.
- Apply risk assessment principles, including the use of live work permits.
- Correctly select, use, inspect, and maintain electrical PPE and tools.
- Follow the correct emergency response procedures in the event of an electrical accident.
