COURSE OVERVIEW
The Electrical Hazards Training Course is an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) safety program designed to help workers recognize, assess, and prevent electrical hazards commonly found on construction sites and industrial workplaces. Through realistic jobsite simulations, participants learn how electrical incidents occur, how to identify dangerous conditions, and how their actions can impact their own safety and the safety of others. Electrical accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities in the workplace. Electrocution, electrical burns, arc flash incidents, and contact with energized equipment can result in life-altering consequences. This VR training places participants in realistic work environments where they must identify electrical hazards, make safety decisions, and witness the consequences of unsafe actions in a completely risk-free setting.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Participants will learn how to master:
- Identify Live Electrical Threats: Conduct systematic site scans to uncover compromised extension cords, exposed live conduits, water-proximate connections, and ungrounded circuits.
- Execute Pre-Use Tool Audits: Physically inspect power tools, generators, and distribution panels in VR, scanning for housing cracks, frayed insulation, or modified plugs.
- Understand GFCI Protection: Master the mandatory placement and testing of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) across all temporary jobsite power sources.
- Maintain Overhead Power Line Clearances: Enforce strict OSHA approach boundaries when operating cranes, mobile scaffolding, or aluminum ladders near high-voltage overhead lines.
- Analyze Peer-to-Peer Safety Impact: Recognize that a safety shortcut taken by one worker creates a direct, life-threatening hazard for another team member downstream
