Electrical Safety for Telecommunications Workers
Course Overview
Electrical Safety for Telecommunications Workers regulations and industry standards, equipping both inside and outside telecommunications technicians with essential knowledge to recognize and prevent hazards related to electrical systems. This online class is intended for personnel who must work on or near electrical power installations or work with those who do, including overhead line workers and technicians (pole climbers, bucket truck workers), technicians working in indoor and outdoor power substations at 50 volts and above, direct supervisors of these workers and technicians, safety personnel, and management personnel.
Training covers a range of topics, including overhead line construction and inside plant installations involving both AC and DC applications. Telecommunications technicians must be knowledgeable of the hazards they could encounter, such as electrical shock, arc flash, and arc blast. Students receive guidance on recognizing these hazards associated with their work environments, including the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), adherence to lockout/tagout procedures, and safe work practices and procedures to ensure their safety. Additionally, students review fundamental standards for working in telecommunications environments."
