Semiconductor Electrical Safety Bundle

Course Description

“This *Semiconductor Electrical Safety* bundle consists of four comprehensive courses: *Semiconductor Electrical Safety Part 1: Basics of Electrical Safety*, *Part 2: Developing a Risk-Based Approach to Electrical Safety*, *Part 3: Implementing Electrical Safety*, and *Part 4: Electrical Safety*.

Understanding electrical hazards is crucial when working around electricity daily. This course series covers the fundamentals of electrical safety, focusing on the properties of electricity, common hazards, and ways to avoid them. You’ll learn how to conduct electrical risk assessments, implement protective measures to prevent shocks and electrocution, and review critical processes like lockout/tagout and the role of an energized electrical work permit. Additionally, learners will explore the development of an electrical safety program and how risk assessment outcomes inform safe work practices.”
