    Eligibility / Requirements

    General electrical safety training is typically open to individuals from various backgrounds and professions who work in environments where they may be exposed to electrical hazards. There are generally no strict eligibility requirements for general electrical safety training, as it is designed to provide foundational knowledge applicable across industries and roles. Participants may include electricians, maintenance technicians, engineers, construction workers, facilities managers, and other personnel who work with or around electrical equipment.
    However, some organizations or training providers may have specific prerequisites or recommendations for participants, such as a minimum age requirement, basic literacy and numeracy skills, or proficiency in the language of instruction. Additionally, individuals working in certain industries or roles may be required by their employers or regulatory agencies to undergo electrical safety training as part of their job responsibilities.
    Overall, general electrical safety training aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to recognize and mitigate electrical hazards, comply with safety regulations, and prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace. As such, anyone interested in improving electrical safety practices or working in environments where electrical hazards are present can benefit from participating in electrical safety training programs.
