COURSE OVERVIEW:

The safety and reliability of any electrical installation are built upon a deep understanding of its constituent components and the rigorous application of safety protocols. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the hardware that makes up modern power systems and the standardized procedures required to work on them safely. Participants will explore the function of primary and secondary assets, focusing on how each component contributes to the overall stability and protection of the network.

The scope of this training addresses the full spectrum of equipment found in industrial and commercial sites, including transformers, switchgear, motors, and protective devices. It covers the technical nuances of component selection, installation, and operation, with a primary emphasis on the prevention of accidents through proper procedure. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the hierarchy of safety, ranging from personal protective equipment to the implementation of complex lockout and tagout systems.

Coverage includes the interpretation of safety standards such as NFPA 70E and the application of risk assessment tools to identify electrical hazards before work begins. Attendees will learn to recognize the signs of equipment degradation and understand the procedural requirements for isolation and de-isolation. By combining a thorough overview of electrical hardware with uncompromising safety training, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to navigate high-energy environments with confidence and care.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Identify all primary components of a power distribution system.
• Explain the function of transformers, breakers, and switchgear.
• Describe the operation of protective devices like fuses and GFCIs.
• Recognize common electrical hazards: Shock, arc flash, and fire.
• Select and use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Implement the 8-step Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) safety procedure.
• Interpret safety labels, warnings, and equipment nameplates.
• Conduct a basic risk assessment before starting electrical work.
• Explain the importance of grounding and bonding for safety.
• Navigate safely around high-voltage substation environments.
• Perform emergency response procedures for electrical shock victims.
• Maintain the safety and integrity of electrical enclosures and tools.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Junior Electricians, Safety Officers, Maintenance Technicians, and Non-Electrical Personnel who work near electrical systems.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
