Course(s)
Our Electrical Safety online course provides employees with essential knowledge of electrical hazards, safe working practices, and emergency procedures. It is designed to promote risk awareness and help create a safer working environment across all industries.
Workplace electricity remains a significant risk factor, with around a quarter of workplace fires caused by faulty or incorrectly used electrical equipment. By improving understanding and ensuring compliance with industry regulations, organisations can significantly reduce the risk of injury, fire, and property damage.
On successful completion, learners receive a CPD-accredited Electrical Safety certificate, which is emailed directly to both learners and administrators. The certificate is valid for three years.
RIDDOR records electrical injuries under “contact with electricity or electrical discharge,” including shocks and burns. HSE data shows that while electrical incidents make up a relatively small proportion of workplace harm, they can still result in serious injuries and fatalities each year.
Electrical safety training is essential to help employees recognise and control electrical hazards, reducing the risk of shocks, burns, fire, and equipment damage. Structured training also improves compliance, strengthens workplace safety culture, and ensures staff know how to respond correctly in an electrical emergency.
This course is suitable for any employee who may be exposed to electrical equipment or systems as part of their work. It is particularly relevant for maintenance staff, facilities teams, office workers, and anyone responsible for using or managing electrical appliances in the workplace.
It is also ideal for employers who want to ensure their workforce understands basic electrical safety principles and compliance requirements.
This CPD-accredited Electrical Safety course supports professional development and demonstrates a commitment to maintaining high standards of workplace safety.
CPD accreditation ensures the training contributes to ongoing learning and provides recognised evidence of electrical safety competence within the workplace.
This is a fully online, self-paced course, allowing learners to complete training at a time and pace that suits them. It is designed for flexibility, making it suitable for busy workplaces and individuals.
The course can be accessed on any device, enabling learning at work, at home, or on the move, without disruption to daily responsibilities.
Upon successful completion, learners receive a CPD-accredited Electrical Safety certificate. The certificate is issued digitally via email and is valid for three years.
It provides formal recognition of the learner’s understanding of electrical hazards, safe working practices, and compliance with workplace safety standards.

An online Electrical Safety course teaches employees how to identify electrical hazards, follow safe working practices, and reduce the risk of electrical accidents in the workplace. It helps organisations improve safety awareness and maintain compliance with workplace health and safety regulations.
Electrical safety training is important because electricity can cause serious injuries, burns, fires, and fatalities if not managed correctly. Proper training helps employees recognise hazards, use equipment safely, and respond appropriately during electrical emergencies.
This course is suitable for employees who use electrical equipment at work, including office staff, maintenance teams, facilities personnel, technicians, and supervisors. It is ideal for any workplace where electrical appliances or systems are used.
Fires – The misuse of electricity is a major cause of fires in the home and workplace.
This is particularly true when the equipment produces heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, kettles, hair dryers, heat-seal packaging equipment, etc.). Many fires are caused by faulty appliances and damaged cables and connections.
Electric burns – If electricity contacts with the skin or passes through the body, it can cause burns. Burns can be categorised as first, second or third degree, depending on how badly the skin is damaged. Electric burns can also potentially damage internal organs.
Electric shock – Electric shock occurs when an electric current passes through the body. Electric shock can range from experiencing a slight tingling sensation to cardiac arrest. Shocks from electrical equipment can also lead to indirect injuries such as head injuries and fractures, due to falls from ladders or other work platforms.
