Description

This course addresses the critical challenges posed by equipment wear and tear. Participants will gain a deep understanding of the risks associated with insulation issues, breaks, short circuits, and exposed wires. The course focuses on the pivotal role of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) in automatically detecting and shutting off electrical flow to prevent accidents, as well as the significance of effective grounding to mitigate fault currents. Emphasis is placed on the identification and proper usage of various GFCI types and grounding methods to ensure a secure working environment. Identify the potential risks arising from wear and tear on equipment in construction and industrial settings, including insulation problems, short circuits, and exposed wires. Understand the principles and applications of ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) and their role in automatically interrupting the flow of electricity to prevent electrical accidents. Demonstrate knowledge of effective grounding methods to mitigate fault currents and protect individuals from potential burns or fatalities in the presence of ungrounded or broken electrical paths.
