Introduction

Occupational safety and electrical security are critical components of any industrial and operational environment. Electrical hazards—such as shock, arc flash, short circuits, and equipment failure—pose significant risks to personnel, assets, and operations if not properly managed.

This 10-day comprehensive training program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides an integrated approach to occupational safety and electrical risk management. It combines safety principles, electrical protection systems, regulatory compliance, and practical field applications.

Participants will gain the knowledge and skills required to identify hazards, implement safety measures, and ensure secure and compliant electrical operations in industrial environments.
