Electrical Safety: Unqualified Person (Spanish)
Course Description:
This training session covers electrical safety for unqualified persons. “Unqualified” persons are machine operators, operators of powered industrial trucks, construction workers, and others who are not qualified to perform electrical work but who still face the risk of electrical shock and need to know important information about the hazards of electricity to prevent serious injury. This course is meant to supplement hands-on or classroom training that your employer must provide to familiarize you with the specific electrical hazards of your job.
Why “Electrical Safety: Unqualified Person (Spanish)” Matters:
“Unqualified” workers are machine operators, operators of powered industrial trucks, construction workers, and others who are not qualified to perform electrical work, but who need to know important information about the hazards of electricity and how to prevent serious injury.
Key Points:
- Exposure to electricity is dangerous—it can cause electrocution, shock, electric and thermal burns, arc flash and arc blast burns, and secondary injuries such as falls.
- Watch carefully for possible electrical hazards—for instance, never use damaged tools, cords, or electrical equipment.
- Always follow safe work practice, including proper emergency response procedures.
- Always follow our electrical safety program, which is designed to protect you and other workers from electrical hazards.
- And finally, seek assistance from a qualified person whenever you have any doubt about electrical safety or think there might be an electrical hazard. Too many things can go wrong with electricity for you to take risks.
