Overview
This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above). However, if you are not licensed in Ohio, it is suggested that you purchase the self-paced version of the course.

In Controlling Electrical Hazards , you'll learn ...

  • The causes of electrical shocks and their effects on the human body
  • The three factors that cause most electrical accidents
  • Equipment and work practices designed to protect against electrical hazards

Electricity can expose workers to electric shock, electrocution, burns, fires and explosions on the job. Electrocutions resulted in 171 work-related deaths in the U.S. in 2011. Most work-related injuries and deaths can be prevented by following basic electrical safety techniques on the job.

In this course, the student will review electrical safety-related work practice requirements for general industry and construction. These requirements, stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs), are enforced by the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA).

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.
