Skills covered in this course
Description
This course delves into the intricacies of different types of electricity encountered in the workplace, focusing on static, high voltage, and low voltage electricity. Participants will gain a nuanced understanding of how static electricity is generated through friction and how high and low voltage electricity behave in circuits. The course emphasizes the potential dangers associated with high voltage electricity, providing insights into shocks that can result in severe burns and, in extreme cases, death. Additionally, it highlights the common occurrences of low voltage electricity in household appliances, offering guidance on recognizing and mitigating shocks.
