Electrical Tools & Safety
This program examines the basics of electrical circuits in detail. We look at various components of a circuit, voltage, current, resistance and Ohm's Law, series and parallel circuits, and demonstrate a range of calculations for voltage, current, resistance, power and the use of Kirchoff's Law. We look at how to use a multimeter, resistors and resistance colour coding. Students are provided with clear verbal and visual explanations of the movement of current through a circuit, how it flows and how electrical energy is used, and easy-to-follow examples of how Ohm's and Kirchoff's Laws are applied.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters - Insulation and grounding are 2 recognized means of preventing injury during electrical equipment operation. Conductor insulation may be provided by placing non-conductive material such as plastic around the conductor. Grounding may be achieved through the use of direct connection to a known ground such as a metal cold water pipe.

Electricity is all around us. It lights up our homes... powers much of the machinery and equipment that we use... and runs many of our tools. We are so used to it, most employees "take it for granted." Yet electricity can also be dangerous. Employees need to know how electricity works, and what they should do to protect themselves from its hazards.
"Electrical Safety" remind employees about electrical hazards they may face in their jobs, and provides the information they need to work safely around electricity. This program will also assist in satisfying the OSHA training requirements under 29 CFR Part 1910.331 (Electrical Safety Standard) for "non-qualified" employees. Topics covered in these products include:
How electricity works.
Fuses and circuit breakers.
Grounding and GFIs.
Safe work practices.
Outlets, plugs and extension cords.
Working with electrical equipment.
Using ladders around electricity.
Electrical emergencies.
and more.

Electricity is essential to modern life, both at home and on the job. As a source of power, electricity is accepted without much thought to the hazards encountered. Perhaps because it has become such a familiar part of our surroundings, it often is not treated with the respect it deserves. To handle electricity safely, you need to understand how electricity acts, how it can be approached and the hazards it presents. You also need to know how these hazards can be controlled. Learn as much as you can and use this program as the beginning, not the end of your training in electrical safety.
Topics included in this safety video are: electrical fires, National Electrical Code, primary hazards of electricity including shock, burns, arc blasts, explosions, and fires, CPR, lightning, surge protectors, special wiring systems, grounding system, copper ground rod, extension cords, double insulation, electrical storms, basic electrical safety tips including Water and electricity, metal ladders, inspect electrical equipment, Test the circuit, power lines, grounding, electrical repairs, UL, extension cords rated at a lower capacity, octopus plugs, heating appliances, and fuses or circuit breakers.

NFPA 70E Electrical Safety - Arc Flash Safety For Employees - Although arc hazards have existed since we first started using electricity, increasing deaths, injuries, and property loss from arcing faults have led to increased study into the causes, effects, and methods of protection. New electrical standards, most notably the National Fire Protection Association or NFPA 70E, are the principle regulations to establish minimum requirements for improving electrical safety. OSHA has adopted these regulations and they apply to every worker that may approach or be exposed to electrical energy. Let's review arc flashes.
Topics included in this safety video are: introduction to understanding and reducing arc flash hazards, electrical safety and arc flash protection, personal protective equipment (PPE), arc flash personal protective equipment, required signs and labeling, lockout/tagout, where and when to perform Arc Flash Hazards, The 2000 NFPA 70E and the 2002 NEC state that facilities must provide, and typical Arc Flash Incident Injuries.
