Overview
Electricity can expose workers to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires and explosions on the job. Electrocutions resulted in 278 work-related deaths in the U.S. in 1999. Most work-related injuries and deaths can be prevented by employing OSHA electrical safety standards.
In this course, the student will review OSHA 3075, "Controlling Electrical Hazards". This publication outlines the requirements of OSHA's general industry electrical safety standards contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (29CFR Part 1910). This course is relevant to business owners, engineers, managers, foreman and any other personnel working in industries that require the distribution and use of electrical power. Since almost every business in the U.S. uses electricity to power tools, appliances, computers, machinery, etc., this course is relevant in many different industries.
