First aid for electrical accidents
Most electrical accidents end without serious consequences, but electrical current passing through the body can lead to severe or life-threatening injuries. This course gives you an understanding of the risks and the confidence to act correctly if an electrical accident occurs.
Upon passing the final exam, you will receive a course certificate valid for one year.
We offer integration with the ID06 competence database at no extra cost. Please contact us for registration after completing the course.
The goal
The aim of the course is for participants to increase their knowledge of first aid for electrical injuries so that they know how to act in an accident situation.
The target group
Persons who work on and maintain electrical installations, or find themselves in situations involving electrical hazards.
The topics covered
The body conducts electricity well, and multiple organs can be damaged. Electrical accidents can cause heart rhythm disturbances and even cardiac arrest—sometimes occurring several hours after the incident. Voltages as low as 50 volts can trigger cardiac arrest.
