This course provides a comprehensive study of electrical safety, focusing on the identification, analysis, and prevention of electrical risks in occupational and industrial environments. It begins with an introduction to occupational safety and the historical development of electrical risk awareness, supported by accident statistics and the role of standardization bodies.
The course then examines the nature of electrical accidents, emphasizing the dangers of electric current to the human body. It covers the physical and physiological mechanisms of electric shock, including factors influencing current flow, human body impedance, and the pathophysiological effects that may lead to electrocution and ventricular fibrillation.
A major part of the course is dedicated to protection measures, addressing both personnel and equipment safety. Students learn about regulations, grounding systems, protection devices, and safety practices for working on or near electrical installations across low-, medium-, and high-voltage systems. The course also explores the effects of electric and magnetic fields, verification procedures, and safety requirements for fixed and mobile equipment.
Additionally, the course addresses indirect electrical hazards such as fires, explosions, hazardous materials, noise, and vibrations, highlighting applicable standards and prevention techniques. Finally, the course equips learners with essential emergency response and first-aid skills, including proper behavior during electrical accidents, assisted ventilation, cardiac massage, and care for electrical burn victims.
Overall, this course aims to develop awareness, technical competence, and practical skills necessary to ensure electrical safety, prevent accidents, and respond effectively to electrical emergencies in professional environments.
