The risk of electrical accidents is always present. An accident only occurs when there is an opportunity, and often it is handling errors that cause the incident. This course covers what electric arcs are, how arc hazards occur, incident energy, and risk-reducing measures.
The topics covered
- Potential dangers from electric arcs
- Injuries resulting from electric arcs
- Incident energy and contributing factors
- Barriers such as switchboard panels and personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Short-circuit currents in arc flashes
- Protective devices and arc flash detectors
- How to limit incident energy and arc flash duration
Flexible Learning
Upon enrolment, learners will receive up to one year of access to complete the online training and can schedule their online assessment at any time within the access period.
