objectivesElectricity powers the modern workplace, but it can also present a number of safety hazards for workers, including burns, shocks, and even electrocution. To protect yourself and promote a safer work environment, it’s important to stay aware of these hazards and best practices for minimizing and avoiding them. Workers, managers, and supervisors can stay up-to-date on their electrical safety training by completing 100 Questions and Answers on Electrical Safety for General Industry online.
During this intermediate online course, students will receive 100 commonly asked questions on electrical safety with detailed answers. The questions are broken down into critical topics in workplace electrical safety, including:
Safety Standards
Hazard and Risk Analysis
Personal Protective Equipment
Safety Grounds
Approach Boundaries
Safety Equipment
Arc Flash and Arc Fault
Lockout /Tagout (LOTO)
Checking for Absence of Voltage
Electrical Safety Definitions
All questions focus on key definitions and terms, preparing students for the quiz at the end of the course.
descriptionThis course is based on the content written by Ray A. Jones, an industry expert and head of the NFPA 70E committee, with permission from Jones and Bartlett Publishers. It is designed to be a comprehensive resource for electricians in need of immediate, qualified assistance on the most crucial occupational safety problems. As one might assume, this course poses and answers 100 fundamental electrical safety concerns. The 100 questions are based on the author's extensive expertise with industrial safety standards and program development. The concise and detailed responses address a range of subjects, including often misinterpreted terminology, arc flash situations, and proper personal protection equipment. Each question is initially presented in an ungraded manner. Each is then followed by an in-depth examination of the question. The learner is then assessed at the conclusion of each major topic with a graded quiz. The course concludes with a comprehensive final exam that includes all 100 questions.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA 3 training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
Failure to pass quizzes and the final exam will result in being locked out of this online training program, but the learner can repurchase and start back from the beginning.
Upon completing this 100 Questions And Answers On Electrical Safety For General Industry and the accompanying survey, you will receive an OSHA 3 card from the provider of this OSHA training on behalf of the Department of Labor.
Students who successfully complete the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT THE END OF THIS TRAINING TO RECEIVE YOUR DOL CARD
