Course Overview
The OSHA Focus Four – Electrocution Hazards course, offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals (AMIOSP), is intended to teach workers, supervisors, and safety professionals the fundamentals of preventing construction and general industry electrical injuries and fatalities. Following OSHA Standard 29 CFR §1926.416, the course outlines the employer’s responsibility to protect workers from electrical hazards by de-energizing, grounding, and insulating power circuits. Each participant is taught how to identify and control situations where workers may be exposed to live electrical wiring and circuits and how to put in place protective measures to remove these hazards. Primary emphasis is placed on the safe use and maintenance of electrical systems, including the use insulated gloves and tools, safe work distances, circuit load limitations, and installation and maintenance of electrical systems. Special emphasis on hazards associated with the fuses, cords, and bundled cables; cleared pathways and guarded work areas with exposed energized elements. Training covers procedures to identify and communicate potential hazards to workers and establish control measures prior to work, including unmarked underground powerlines and warning signs. Case studies and directive materials serve to deepen understanding of hazard exposed and integrated methods to mitigate the risk in the work zone. After completing this course, participants will be able to identify OSHA electrical safety compliance standards, reduce the risks associated with electrical work, and cultivate a safety-first culture so that all workers can go home safely after every job involving electrical work.
