Electrical Safety for Unqualified Workers in California

Course description

Workers who operate machines and electric-powered tools and equipment, and others who do maintenance or service work on or near electrical systems, are exposed to electrical hazards that can result in burns, shocks, and electrocution. These types of workers are considered “unqualified persons,” which means they aren’t trained or qualified to work directly on or near exposed, energized electrical systems or parts.

This course is for unqualified persons in California who have strict limitations when working with and around electrical equipment and aren’t allowed to perform electrical maintenance and repair. This course is designed to assist workers who are unfamiliar with or untrained in the technical aspects of electricity to recognize hazards and safe work practices to avoid injury on the job.

Additional training is required for workers who are qualified to work on or near exposed, energized electrical equipment and wiring.

Course Duration: 33 min
