- Language: English
- Accredited: CPE, KHDA Certified training courses
INTRODUCTION
This EuroMaTech ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Importance of Electrical Safety, Identifying Risks and Hazards, Catastrophic Effects of Arc Flash training course emphasises on the importance of arc flash electrical safety with reference to shock hazards, burns, incident energies, limits of approach, personal protective equipment and arc flash mitigations.
An arc flash may happen when conductive objects are placed near exposed conductors. Dropped tools may also cause sparks that may lead to arc blasts. Arc flash safety measures also mention the importance of inspecting old electrical tools with bad parts or worn-out wires. It is very harmful because of the intense degrees of temperature it produces. When the electrical current jumps, it may also cause extremely bright flashes of light that can temporarily or permanently damage eyesight.
Employers of electrical workers are already required to conduct arc flash analysis in order to check how much thermal energy can be produced within the workplace. The results of their analysis will determine the particular amount of heat-resistant clothing that they should provide their workers. It also sets the boundaries between workers and potential sources of harmful arc flashes.
Participants attending the EuroMaTech ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Importance of Electrical Safety, Identifying Risks and Hazards, Catastrophic Effects of Arc Flash training course will develop the following competencies:
- Understand the causes of arc flash and its effects
- Comprehend the OSHA and NFPA 70 arc flash boundaries and limits of approach
- Appreciate the merits incident energy calculations
- Inculcate the safety requirements and cultures
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
This EuroMaTech ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Importance of Electrical Safety, Identifying Risks and Hazards, Catastrophic Effects of Arc Flash training course aims to enable participants to achieve the following objectives:
- Understand the importance of safety in an electrical installation
- Comprehend the hazards of arc flashes
- Ability to accept the importance of arc flash studies
- Appreciate the effects of incident energy
- Assess the importance electrical safety
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This EuroMaTech ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Importance of Electrical Safety, Identifying Risks and Hazards, Catastrophic Effects of Arc Flash training course is designed specifically for those professionals will benefit all levels of personnel in an electrical installation. It will enable them to understand the importance of electrical safety, identify the causes and hazards of arc flash.
This course is suitable to a wide range of technical professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Electricians
- Electrical supervisors
- Plant electricians
- Operations & maintenance engineers, supervisors & technicians
- Maintenance technicians
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The EuroMaTech ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Importance of Electrical Safety, Identifying Risks and Hazards, Catastrophic Effects of Arc Flash training course will combine presentations with interactive practical exercises, supported by video materials, activities and case studies. Delegates will be encouraged to participate actively in relating the principles of stress management to the particular needs of their workplace.
TRAINING SUMMARY
This interactive EuroMaTech ELECTRICAL SAFETY: Importance of Electrical Safety, Identifying Risks and Hazards, Catastrophic Effects of Arc Flash training course will create awareness to delegates on the importance of safety. This will then allow them to understand the hazards and risks of arc flashes. The awareness of incident energy, limits of approach related to arc flash boundaries and labelling are salient safety issues to be addressed.
