objectivesThe Cal Electrical Hazard Recognition/Control for Construction safety course from OSHA Education School is an intermediate-level training designed to teach participants how to prevent and avoid serious injuries or fatalities due to electrical hazards found on California construction sites. Participants can expect to learn about California-specific electrical regulations, unsafe for improperly installed electrical equipment, workplaces exposed to common electrical hazards, and how to mitigate risks when working with electrical equipment.
OSHA Education School’s Cal Electrical Hazard Recognition/Control for Construction teaches low voltage safety orders in California, California Electrical Hazard Recognition Control, and Cal/OSHA standards governing electrical safety in construction. Specific course topics include the following:
Electricity as a workplace hazard
Introduction to Electrical Hazard Recognition and Control in California
Jobsite hazards and controls (parts 1 and 2)
Tool safety tips
Clues that indicate electrical hazards may exist
Safety-related work practices
Specific industry terms covered throughout the three courses include the following:
Cal/OSHA Safety Orders – Low Voltage Safety Orders
California-specific Electrical Hazard Safety
California-specific Electrical Hazard Safety Class
National Electrical Code (NEC)
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
OSHA’s Electrical Safety – Construction
descriptionThe California Electrical Hazard Recognition/Control for Construction Safety course is an intermediate-level course that teaches participants how to prevent and avoid major injuries or fatalities caused by electrical dangers prevalent on construction sites in California. Participants can expect to learn about California-specific electrical rules, the dangers associated with improperly installed electrical equipment, common electrical hazards in the workplace, and how to mitigate risks associated with electrical equipment work. Cal Electrical Hazard Recognition/Control for Construction instructs students on California's low voltage safety orders, California Electrical Hazard Recognition Control, and Cal/OSHA rules controlling electrical safety in construction.
