Warehouse: a forklift has snagged an overhead line and it's down across the truck; driver is still on board

Try it: this is one of 13 interactive activities in the course.

What's included

Three pieces that work together

Copy once, get everything. Learners prepare on their own, you answer questions live, and the surveys tell you what stuck.

  • 7 lessons, about 25 minutes
  • 3 video slots (you add the videos)
  • Accordion, tabs, flashcards, process and quizzes
  • 10-question final check, 80% to pass

Live session deck

An AhaSlides presentation to run after the course, in person or online.

  • 10 slides
  • Quiz, word cloud, poll, open-ended slides
  • A closing slide for your contacts

Two surveys

Find out what landed, and whether people use it on the job.

  • Post-course feedback, about 2 minutes
  • 30-day check-in
  • Anonymous by default
  • Results feed your next refresher

FAQ

Common questions

Can I run electrical safety awareness training online?

The course itself is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session. Whether online delivery meets your local rules depends on the law that applies to you, so check 29 CFR 1910.332(a)-(b)(2) or ask your own counsel.

How often is this training needed?

At assignment to work exposing employee to electrical risk; refresher best practice (annual or when hazards change).

Who needs this training?

Unqualified employees who work near electrical equipment (office, retail, warehouse, kitchen, custodial, machine operators); not for qualified electrical workers.

What records should I keep?

Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. Check the retention period that applies to you in 29 CFR 1910.332(a)-(b)(2).

Can I edit the content?

Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply. Keep anything your own law requires you to cover.
