Key Words
Description
Electricity can burn, shock, and kill, but most electrical injuries are preventable when you understand the hazards and the controls designed to protect you. The Electrical Hazards & Protection course covers the six BE SAFE electrical hazard types, how electricity injures the body, and the protective systems like GFCIs and AEGCPs that reduce risk on the job. You'll also learn the Stop–Report–Stay Clear framework and emergency response basics so you know how to act when something goes wrong.
Drawn from OSHA Standard: 1910.303–.305, 1910.333–.335, 1926.404–.405, .416 - .417, NFPA 70E (2024), and industry best practices.
An interactive simulation is included. Every jobsite is required to have either GFCI or AEGCP protection in place to keep workers safe from electrical hazards. In this simulation, you'll explore how each system works, learn the difference between them, and practice making safe decisions when faced with real-world electrical scenarios.
You can access the simulation using a screen reader, computer, mobile device, or a Quest VR headset.

Standards
OSHA Standard: 1926.400, .404 and industry best practices
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) and the Assured Equipment Grounding Connector Program (AEGCP) are two options to protect workers from electrical injuries. Topics introduced include understanding the importance of not working with electricity unless properly trained and instructed to do so by the employer.
An interactive simulation is included to help learners become aware of the many electrical hazards found throughout the jobsite in a virtual construction environment.
