Electricity is essential to modern workplaces — but it’s also one of the most dangerous hazards on any job site.

Electrical injuries can be fatal, and many are caused by lack of training, awareness, or poor procedures. Whether you’re an electrician, maintenance worker, supervisor, or just work near electrical systems, proper training can save lives.

At Ireland Safety Training, we offer a fully online Electrical Safety Awareness Course, CPD-accredited and accessible from any device, designed to reduce risks and meet compliance standards in Ireland and the UK.

Why Electrical Safety Training Is Crucial

1. Electrical Accidents Happen Across All Industries

Common risks include:

• Electric shocks from faulty wiring or equipment

• Arc flash explosions

• Fires caused by overloaded circuits

• Contact with live wires during repairs or maintenance

• Equipment failure from improper use

These incidents can cause burns, cardiac arrest, and fatal injuries. Awareness is the first step in prevention.

2. Required by Irish and UK Legislation

Employers must comply with:

• Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 – Part 3 Electricity (Ireland)

• Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (UK)

Duties include:

• Providing appropriate training

• Ensuring safe systems of work

• Identifying and controlling risks of electric shock or burn

Failure to do so can lead to HSA/HSE penalties, injuries, and liability claims.

3. Not Just for Electricians

Many employees work around electricity without being directly involved in electrical work. From construction and manufacturing to office environments, everyone needs basic awareness.
