COURSE OVERVIEW<\/b><\/b><\/div>\n

Handling electricity is one of the most perilous professions in our sector. Annually, Canada experiences between 600 to 800 instances of electrical mishaps, including fatalities. New standards that address the safety requirements for working with electricity have been implemented by the Canadian Standards Association and the NFPA to help mitigate these incidents.<\/p>\n

The CSA Z462 , Workplace Electrical Safety and the NFPA 70E Electrical Safety in the Work Place are applicable to electrical professionals, and offer guidance to employers regarding the qualifications necessary for electrical tasks. They also warn against permitting non-qualified individuals within hazard boundaries.<\/p>\n

Electricity is a harmful energy form. Around 10 milliamps (mA) of current can cause skin burns and blisters. Approximately 20 mA of current can trigger laborious breathing and an inability to release the electrical circuit or tool causing the shock. Furthermore, 75 mA of current passing through the chest region may induce ventricular fibrillation of the heart, a rapid, irregular heartbeat that can result in death within minutes. Additional injuries may include severe burns and muscle damage \u2013 a few amps can cause irreversible body damage. Humans are only equipped to handle 5 or 6 mA, whereas a typical fuse or circuit breaker opens a circuit at 15,000 mA.<\/p>\n

Our ‘Electrical Safety for the Non-Electrical Worker’ course has been revamped to align with the latest regulations and standards, including the newly revised CSA Z462 – Workplace Electrical Safety and the NFPA 70E – Electrical Safety in the Workplace.<\/p>\n
