Description

Objective:

The course objective is to enable students to identify the environmental, occupational safety and health concerns that are inherent in every electrical system in designing, operation, and maintaining electrical components and the safety of the surrounding work communities. Given OSHA and consensus standards, the participant will be able to assess electrical hazards associated with equipment and systems in the workplace.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Define methods to control exposure and explain the exposure effects to the human body
  • Explain both inductive and deductive methods of systems safety analysis and how these methods identify the hazards associated with the design, operation, and maintenance of electrical engineering systems
  • Interpret safety and electrical engineering concepts
  • Research methods to control ignition and explosion from Electrical ignition of flammable and combustible materials, resulting in fires and explosions and discuss their application in modern process facilities
  • Interpret the National Electric Code, and those organizations promulgate the standards, such as the National Fire Protection Association and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
  • Participate in workshop that addresses current issues within the scope of their area
