About this course
This Electrical Awareness Training is designed to help you understand why electrical safety is so important and explains what you can do to keep yourself and others safe around electrical and electronic equipment.
Electrical safety isn’t only an issue for electricians or people whose job is specifically to do with electricity; it’s important no matter what job you do or what industry you work in. Electrical safety helps prevent you and other people from being injured or even killed by electrical hazards. Each year there are about 30 fatal electrical accidents in the UK, with roughly 1,000 workplace injuries involving electricity.
It is, therefore, more important than ever that staff are given electrical safety training and when our course can be completed online in just 30 minutes, why take any risks?
This electrical safety training course looks at the laws surrounding electricity at work such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, as well as covering best practice for safe use of electrical appliances and what to do in emergency situations.
Did you know? – An electric shock can cost a company up to £15,000!
This eLearning course only provides awareness education. Face to face training would be needed in addition in order to complete the all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The definition of electrical equipment provided by the regulations includes anything used, intended to be used or installed for use, to generate, provide, transmit, transform, rectify, convert, conduct, distribute, control, store, measure or use electrical energy.
These appliances are subject to The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (as well as falling under the duties of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999)
These regulations place a duty on employers, employees and the self-employed to:
- Have the electrical systems constructed in a way that prevents danger;
- Maintain their electrical systems as necessary to prevent danger;
- Have work on, use of, or closure of electrical systems carried out in a way that prevents danger.
It shall be the duty of every employer and self-employed person to comply with the provisions of these regulations in so far as they relate to matters which are within his control
Additionally:
- Electrical equipment used in hazardous environments (e.g. extremes of weather, temperature, corrosive conditions) must be constructed or protected to prevent it becoming dangerous;
- Only those with adequate knowledge or experience, or who are under adequate supervision should work with, or on, electrical equipment that could cause danger or injury
