Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our Electrical Supervisor course is as follows:
Start by building a foundation in electrical safety and understanding why risk assessment is essential in modern workplaces. You’ll become familiar with key electrical concepts, common hazards, and the importance of following safe work procedures.
Effective communication helps prevent workplace accidents. Learn how to communicate safety information clearly, report hazards, document concerns, and work collaboratively to maintain a safe electrical environment.
Understanding electricity begins with the basics. Explore electrical units such as voltage, current, resistance, and power while learning how Ohm’s Law explains the relationship between these essential electrical values.
Safe work practices reduce the likelihood of electrical accidents. This module covers personal protective equipment (PPE), lockout and tagout awareness, hazard identification, and precautions for working around electrical systems.
Discover how direct current (DC) systems operate and where they are commonly used. You’ll also examine safety considerations associated with batteries, electronic devices, and low-voltage systems.
Alternating current (AC) powers most homes, workplaces, and industrial facilities. Learn how AC systems function, their practical applications, and the hazards associated with working around live electrical equipment.
Voltage and resistance influence the behaviour of every electrical circuit. This module explains how these concepts affect electrical performance, equipment operation, and workplace safety.
Capacitors store electrical energy and are widely used in electrical systems. Explore their purpose, operating principles, common applications, and the precautions needed when working with stored electrical energy.
Electrical equipment should always be used correctly and inspected regularly. Learn safe operating procedures, equipment checks, isolation practices, and methods for reducing electrical hazards during routine work.
Understanding why electrical incidents occur is key to preventing future accidents. Examine common causes of electric shock, arc flash, burns, equipment failures, and effective emergency response measures.
Risk assessments help identify hazards before work begins. Learn how to evaluate electrical risks, assess the likelihood and severity of hazards, and select appropriate control measures for different workplace situations.
Managing electrical hazards requires a structured approach. This module explores the hierarchy of controls, safe systems of work, administrative controls, engineering controls, and continuous safety improvement.
Complete the course by exploring the importance of electrical inspections and testing. You’ll learn how regular inspections help identify defects, verify equipment safety, support preventive maintenance, and contribute to safer workplaces across Canada.
