Safety at work environment, safe operations of equipment and machineries are premium expectations for end users. This will ensure zero downtime and reduce great losses for the industries. Safety cultures and safety alertness are everybody’s business as accidents have no fixed pattern with regards to the location, time and magnitude of the damage. Electrical hazards, risks and accidents can be minimized by adhering to strict rules and standards set by renown international establishments.
Electrical accidents which includes electric shock, permanent injuries and fatalities must be minimized if not prevented all together. In an establishment all levels of employers and employees have to be in sync and discuss about safety at work frequently and introduce safety refresher courses. Accidents reporting procedures and procurement of safety kits and equipment shall be of priority, with the creation of the health and safety department. This training course will provide the delegates a thorough understanding about individuals safety and implementation of LOTO and PPE to execute electrical operations in safe conditions.
By the end of this Energy Training Centre training course, participants will be able to:
- Recognise the concepts of a safe working environment
- Appreciate the various safety rules, LOTO/PPE and adherence
- Determine the safety culture and merits of safety courses
- Understand the involvement of management personnel in safety reporting

This training course will ensure that participants will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the outline with the instructor utilising a variety of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques. Each participant will receive a copy of the comprehensive seminar notes. The presenter will outline and discuss the topics using computer displays, videos and power point presentation.
The training course is designed to have an interactive format to maximize delegate participation. Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily sessions. Needs-Based case-studies and examples will be discussed in problem solving workshop sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with other delegates and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.
Upon completion of this training course the organizational impact would be:
- Instill safety consciousness and habits so as to ensure a safe working environment
- Technical safety training and up-skilling to improve and realise the full potential of a competent workforce.
- Productivity increase through minimisation of project time acceptance/design and testing.
- Identification for opportunities of improvements due to deep understanding of the various types of renewable energy generation of electricity.
- Attitude change of workforce, as continuous follow up of new technologies and their up taking could otherwise create workforce with high resistance to change due to lack of understanding.
