The goal of the lesson is to provide an overview that prepares workers to work safely with and around electricity. This lesson does not address arc-flash hazards and controls, lock-out/tag-out procedures, or high voltage (220V or 440V) electrical safety.

Electrical safety training is important and often required workplace safety training. Electrical safety training does not make you or your employees a licensed electrician. Rather it teaches you limitations as an unlicensed person and how to identify unsafe conditions so you don’t become a statistic. Electricity is everywhere, so reliable and useful these days that it is often taken for granted, and it is somewhat shocking how little is actually understood about its properties by the general public, another reason why electrical safety training is important.

The purpose of this course is to learn to identify common workplace hazards to the hands, learn about methods and devices used to prevent hand injuries and be able to describe the differences between various types of gloves used in the workplace.

The goal of this lesson is for employees to recognize and understand how to identify chemical hazards using the GHS international classification of chemical hazards, label elements, and Safety Data Sheets. This lesson does not address the use of labels, markings or other communication methods that are employer or facility-specific and not within the scope of this lesson.

Hurricanes are dangerous and can cause major damage because of storm surge, wind damage, and flooding. They typically form around the equator, but hurricanes can hit much more Northern or Southern coastlines and any territory in the Atlantic or Pacific oceans. This course will help you understand how to prepare for a hurricane.

Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H2S. It is an extremely hazardous gas whose marker is the smell of rotten eggs. It is colorless and very dangerous when high concentrations are inhaled. Hydrogen sulfide is highly flammable and explodes easily near lit matches, cigarettes, and other sources of spark or heat. Although only a little irritating at lower concentrations, hydrogen sulfide exposure can result in death. The most likely and dangerous exposure pathway is through inhalation of hydrogen sulfide gas, however, there are some instances where contact is made with the skin. Contact with the skin can result in frostbite or burns.
