Course Introduction
Electrical hazards exist in every environment — homes, offices, commercial buildings, and industrial workplaces. Many incidents occur not because of technical faults, but because people are unaware of the risks around them. This one‑day programme provides practical, awareness‑level electrical safety knowledge based on SS 638, SS 650, the Workplace Safety & Health Act, and relevant Singapore regulations. Participants learn how to recognise hazards, prevent accidents, and adopt safe practices when working near or around electrical installations.
Course Objective
The objective of this course is to equip participants with the essential understanding of electrical hazards, regulatory requirements, and safe behaviour so they can protect themselves, colleagues, and property. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to identify unsafe conditions, understand the purpose of electrical protection systems, and apply simple but effective safety measures in daily life and at work.
