Electrocution Hazards Part I Worksite Safety

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. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course provides the most cost-effective safety and regulatory compliance training available today. The course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood and retained.
