While electrical energy does a lot of useful work on a job site, it can create serious hazards as well. Electricity kills more than a hundred construction workers each year and injures thousands more. They also suffer more than half of the electrical injuries that occur on the job. But these incidents could have been prevented. Areas covered in the course include information on electricity, OSHA and employee safety, working near power lines, safe practices for using electrical tools and cords, reducing ground fault hazards, energy isolation and equipment guarding, lock-out/tag-out, and more.
