Electrical Safety and Assessment of Associated Hazards
A structured, applied course in electrical safety and hazard assessment — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Almost every serious incident involving electrical safety and hazard assessment was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Where hazard assessment depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the occupational health and safety discipline and under-invest in testing it. Applied research in occupational health and safety consistently shows that early structure around electrical safety and hazard assessment reduces downstream rework. The programme converts the occupational health and safety capability from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants test their assumptions about hazard assessment against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for electrical safety and hazard assessment, not for observers of it. They acquire practical criteria for judging when hazard assessment is working and when it is only appearing to. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this area of occupational health and safety that would make a visible difference.
