Course overview
One of the biggest misconceptions of electrical safety is high voltage kills people. Current, not voltage, causes electrical shock. Electrical shock occurs when current flows through a person's body. System voltages as low as 30 VAC can supply enough current to shock or even kill. The Electrical Safety training course describes the flow of electric current and common hazards of electricity. It explains safety procedures that prevent injury, damage, and death from electrical hazards. This course is part of the Electrical Safety training series.
