Every day, somebody dies from an electrocution at work. To handle electricity safely, you need to know how it acts, how it can be controlled, and how it can hurt you. Workers performing service or maintenance on machinery and equipment may be injured by unexpected startup or release of electrical energy. This training will tell you more about electrical hazards in construction work and safe practices when working with electricity, particularly around cord and plug-connected equipment. Ideal learners are construction workers.

Working with electricity is one of the most dangerous jobs in our industry. There are 600 to 800 electrical accidents in Canada every year – not to mention related deaths. To help reduce that number, the Canadian Standards Association and the NFPA have issued new standard that address the requirements regarding electrical safety. The CSA Z462 , Workplace Electrical Safety and the NFPA 70E Electrical Safety in the Work Place applies to electrical workers, and provides guidance to employers on what qualifications are required for electrical work – and cautions against allowing non-qualified people inside hazard boundaries. Electricity is toxic energy. It takes about 10 milliamps (mA) of current for your skin to start burning and blistering. At about 20 mA of current, your breathing becomes labored and you can’t let go of the electrical circuit or tool that is giving you the shock, while 75 mA of current passing through the chest area may cause ventricular fibrillation of the heart, Ventricular fibrillation is a rapid, irregular heartbeat that can cause death in minutes. in addition, you may suffer severe burns and muscular damage – a few amps will cause irreversible body damage. While human beings are only designed to handle 5 or 6 mA, the typical over-current at which a fuse or circuit breaker opens a circuit is 15,000 mA This course has been updated to meet the current regulations and standards, including the recently updated CSA Z462 - Workplace Electrical Safety and the NFPA 70E - Electrical Safety in the Workplace.

This online Electrical Safety in the Laboratory course emphasizes the need for safety when using electricity, and discusses how to reduce the potential for accidents involving electrical shock, fire and explosions.

The first in a two-part series on electrocution hazards, MARCOM's interactive course on Electrocution Hazards Part I: Worksite Safety discusses the electrical hazards that can be found on a job site, the OSHA standards that have been established to protect workers from them, and what employees should do to avoid accidents and injuries involving electricity. Getting things done on a job site can require plenty of electrical energy, and it's easy to forget that electricity can cause painful shocks, burns... even "electrocution". Every year, it causes hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries in the construction industry. But these incidents could have been prevented. Areas covered in the course include electrical hazards and OSHA standards, high voltage power lines, tools, extension cords and receptacles, grounding, continuity and GFCIs, lock-out/tag-out and more. The second in a two-part series on electrocution hazards, MARCOM's interactive course on Electrocution Hazards Part II: Employer Responsibilities discusses the electrical hazards that can be encountered on construction sites, the OSHA regulations that address them, and the responsibilities that employers have to protect workers from accidents and injuries involving electricity. 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.

While we all hope situations like fires, floods, human violence, and medical emergencies never happen to or around us at work, the reality is that sometimes they do.
