— COURSE DESCRIPTION

Electricity powers virtually every aspect of modern healthcare—from diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring to life support systems and facility operations. Yet this essential resource poses serious risks. Each year, electrical accidents cause approximately 2,000 burn center admissions, 4,000 non-disabling injuries, and 3,600 disabling injuries among U.S. workers. In healthcare settings, these risks are amplified by the presence of patients, water, medical gases, and complex equipment.

Healthcare workers face electrical hazards daily, often without recognizing them—damaged cords on medical equipment, overloaded outlets in patient rooms, wet conditions near equipment, and improper use of extension cords. A single electrical incident can result in severe burns, cardiac arrest, falls from shock reactions, or even death.

This focused training course provides healthcare workers with essential electrical safety knowledge. Employees learn how electricity works, recognize electrical hazards specific to healthcare environments, understand the effects of electrical current on the human body, apply safe work practices when using electrical equipment, and know how to respond to electrical emergencies. The goal is preventing injuries through awareness, hazard recognition, and safe practices.
