Semiconductor Electrical Safety
Course Overview
To protect yourself from shock and electrocution, you have to understand electrical hazards in your semiconductor workplace. Take this course to learn about different electrical risk assessments and protective measures that may be implemented as a result.
Working safely around electricity is vital in semiconductor fabrication facilities. In this course, you will learn more about the process for implementing electrical safety, including how assessment results are used to help keep you and your co-workers safe. You will also get a review of the lockout/tagout process and learn the importance of an energized electrical work permit.
To ensure the safety of employees who work around electricity in semiconductor fabrication facilities, employers must meet several requirements. One of the requirements is to have a written electrical safety program. In this course, you will learn how the results of the risk assessments are used to create a program and implement safe work practices. You will also learn how to respond in the event of an electrical emergency. Ideal learners are semiconductor fabrication workers.
Ideal learners are semiconductor fabrication workers.
