Electrical Safety Refresher Training

Lesson 1 • Common Electrical Hazard Categories

Defines shock, arc flash, arc blast, and fire hazards. Provides a classification framework used throughout the course.

Lesson 2 • Workplace Conditions That Create Risk

Identifies environmental and behavioral factors that elevate electrical danger. Links site conditions to specific hazard categories.

Lesson 3 • Voltage Levels and Associated Dangers

Distinguishes low, medium, and high voltage systems and their respective injury profiles. Sets the basis for task-specific risk assessment.

Lesson 1 • Qualified vs. Unqualified Worker Definitions

Distinguishes regulatory definitions of qualified and unqualified persons. Determines which tasks each category may legally and safely perform.

Lesson 2 • Overview of Electrical Safety Regulations

Surveys the hierarchy of electrical safety rules from national to site level. Establishes why compliance is both a legal and moral obligation.

Lesson 3 • Incident Reporting and Investigation Standards

Covers mandatory reporting thresholds and root-cause investigation methods. Connects incident data to continuous safety improvement.

Lesson 1 • Group and Complex Lockout Scenarios

Addresses multi-worker and multi-energy-source situations requiring coordinated control. Prepares learners for real-world complexity beyond single-worker tasks.

Lesson 2 • Principles of Hazardous Energy Control

Explains why stored and residual energy persists after de-energisation. Establishes the conceptual basis for all lockout/tagout steps.

Lesson 3 • Lockout/Tagout Device Requirements

Specifies hardware standards for locks, tags, hasps, and lockout stations. Ensures workers select and use devices that meet regulatory requirements.

Lesson 4 • Step-by-Step Lockout/Tagout Sequence

Walks through the complete eight-step energy control procedure. Provides a repeatable sequence applicable to most electrical equipment.

Lesson 1 • PPE Maintenance, Storage, and Retirement

Establishes care routines that preserve PPE integrity between uses. Defines criteria for removing damaged or expired equipment from service.

Lesson 2 • PPE Hazard Assessment and Selection

Connects incident energy analysis and shock risk to specific PPE categories. Ensures selection is driven by quantified hazard, not habit.

Lesson 3 • Arc-Rated Clothing and Face Protection

Explains arc thermal performance value ratings and layering principles. Addresses face shield and hood selection for arc flash exposure.

Lesson 4 • Insulating Gloves and Sleeves

Covers voltage class ratings, inspection procedures, and proper donning technique. Gloves are the primary shock barrier for most electrical tasks.

Lesson 1 • Establishing an Electrically Safe Work Condition

Details the process of creating a verified safe work condition as the preferred alternative to energised work. Reinforces lockout/tagout as the primary control.

Lesson 2 • Approach Boundaries and Limited Space

Defines flash protection, limited approach, and restricted approach boundaries. Determines who may enter each zone and under what conditions.

Lesson 3 • Energised Work Justification and Permitting

Establishes the regulatory standard requiring documented justification before energised work. Covers the energised electrical work permit process.

Lesson 4 • Two-Person Rule and Job Briefings

Explains when a second qualified person is required and how pre-job briefings reduce error. Integrates human factors into energised work safety.

Lesson 1 • Reading and Using Equipment Labels

Teaches workers to extract PPE category, incident energy, and boundary data from arc flash labels. Directly links label reading to task preparation.

Lesson 2 • PPE Category Method in Practice

Applies the table-based PPE category method to common tasks on panels and switchgear. Provides a practical alternative when incident energy data is unavailable.

Lesson 3 • Arc Flash Study Fundamentals

Explains how incident energy analysis is performed and what inputs drive results. Provides context for interpreting study outputs without performing calculations.

Lesson 1 • Burn Care and Shock Management

Provides first-aid steps for electrical burns and traumatic shock pending medical arrival. Prevents well-intentioned actions that worsen outcomes.

Lesson 2 • Recognising Electrical Injury Types

Identifies external and internal injuries caused by shock, arc flash, and blast. Establishes that visible injuries underrepresent actual tissue damage.

Lesson 3 • CPR and AED Use After Electrical Shock

Reviews cardiac arrest response specific to electrical injury, including AED deployment. Reinforces that electrical victims are safe to touch once the source is removed.

Lesson 4 • Safe Victim Rescue Techniques

Covers how to free a victim from an energised source without becoming a second casualty. Prioritises rescuer safety before victim contact.

Lesson 1 • Risk Assessment and Job Hazard Analysis

Applies structured risk assessment to electrical tasks before work begins. Reduces reliance on experience alone by formalising hazard identification.

Lesson 2 • Elements of an Effective Safety Programme

Defines the core components of a written electrical safety programme. Provides a benchmark against which existing programmes can be evaluated.

Lesson 3 • Contractor and Visitor Safety Management

Addresses how host employers control electrical hazards for non-employees on site. Prevents gaps in protection at the employer-contractor interface.

Lesson 4 • Continuous Improvement and Safety Metrics

Introduces leading and lagging indicators for measuring electrical safety programme effectiveness. Drives data-informed decisions rather than reactive responses.
