Are you looking for an efficient fire and electrical safety training program, but do not know which one to choose? Well, you have stumbled upon the right article that will help you make the perfect decision. Fire and electrical safety requirements for workplaces are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), so any professional training course should comply with the standards imposed by the Administration. Read below to find out the OSHA requirements.
Purpose and Basic Features
OSHA has imposed its regulations regarding fire and electrical safety training as a means to avoid injuries sustained by workers as a result of their exposure to fire hazards, malfunctioning electrical devices, exposed electrical wires, and so on.
OSHA has issued guidelines containing a detailed list of the most important electrical and fire hazards, ways of acknowledging them, methods used to avoid them, and a list of employees who are more subjected to such risks.
Participation Requirements
General fire and electrical safety training is mandatory for any workers who are exposed to electrical or fire hazards as part of their job responsibilities. People who fall under this category are represented by machine operators, electrical engineers, electrical maintenance staff, equipment assemblers, welders, and electronic technicians. In general, this type of training consists of both theoretical presentations, either in a live classroom or online, and a practical section, involving electrical and fire hazard simulations.
In addition, both unqualified employees have to undergo a basic training course regarding fire and electrical safety. This category of employees, although not qualified to maintain or work with electrical and fire hazards, may come in contact with potential dangers as part of daily work routines. Their training must involve basic principles of fire and electrical safety.
Proper Training
For qualified personnel, fire and electrical safety has to be more complex and detailed and should give them information about proper protective equipment and safe work maneuvers. This type of training should be conducted by a qualified instructor.
For the unqualified personnel, fire and electrical safety training should include ways of recognizing potential dangers, basic protective measures, and steps which must be taken in case of emergency involving fire and/or electrical hazards. The preferred training method for unqualified personnel is via online courses.
Both qualified and unqualified staff members are required to pass a test at the end of the training program in order to receive their certificate. Employees have to undergo fire and electrical safety training as soon as possible after being hired; preferably, before starting to work.
These represent the most important OSHA requirements regarding fire and electrical safety training and should be covered in any efficient training program. Depending on your job qualification and responsibilities, the information provided above should help you decide what type of fire and electrical safety training program is more suitable to you. Before deciding on a course, make sure that the topics presented above are part of the program�s curriculum so as to ensure that your certificate of completion will be valid.
