Electrical Safety Awareness for Non-Electrical Workers

Most electrical injuries happen to people who are not electricians, using extension leads, portable tools and office equipment without ever being taught the basics. This course gives non electrical staff the awareness to spot electrical dangers, use equipment safely and know exactly where their responsibility ends and a qualified electrician must take over. Examples use the plugs, leads, boards and appliances found in offices, shops and workshops everywhere.
