OSHA in the standard on training for electricity indicates employees who may reasonably face the risk of injury form electric shock or other electric hazards must receive a basic training. An OSHA publication indicates some employees work directly with electricity but others such as office workers and sales people work indirectly with electricity. In the OSHA publication it indicates "More importantly, we tend to overlook the hazards electricity poses and fail to treat it with the respect it deserves” (Controlling Electrical Hazards, Publication Number PSHA 3075, 2002). This course covers the basic electric safety topics from this publication. It is designed for the safety coordinator. It covers the inspection. forms, the written program and an introduction to electric safety.

At the end of this package is a bonus course on the History of Safety and Health from the Civil War to OSHA. It takes approximately 10 minutes. 

This course starts with the time immediately after the Civil War when the Industrial Revolution began. At this time the worker's safety was of no concern. Guarding of belts, pulleys and equipment in general was not of a concern. Just as deaths were common out west, deaths in industry were common. Various attempts were made on the state level to make a safer environment but there just was too much political influence. The first federal action to reduce deaths occurred after a coal mine disaster. Finally, under President Johnson steps were taken in Congress to pass legislation. However, when President Johnson decided not to re-run effort for legislation ended. Under President Nixon efforts started and a compromise committee in Congress overcame the stalemate. On December 30, 1970, President Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act. This course then explains the details of the operation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
