Overview
Electrical safety begins at the design phase of a project and carries through to the operation of the facility.
In this course the student will become familiar with the occupational safety and health considerations which should be inherent to every electrical system. In designing, operating and maintaining electrical systems, the engineer must consider the occupational and environmental hazards associated with electrical components, as well as the safety of the surrounding community from fires and explosions.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in Exam Reference: An Introduction to Electrical Safety for Engineers – NIOSH Instructional Module - SHAPE – Safety/Health Awareness for Preventive Engineering --- U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - June 1993.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of forty (40) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
