The Electrical Safety Training Course is our complete online electrical safety course for Irish workplaces. One single course explains why electrical safety matters and the injuries unsafe practices cause, the legal duties of employers and employees, every step of the electrical risk assessment, the hierarchy of control, the control measures that keep installations and equipment safe, properly protected and maintained, and the habits of safe work with electrical equipment, from pre-use checks and safe isolation to overhead power lines, underground cables and concealed wiring, exactly what the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the General Application Regulations 2007 expect wherever people work with or near electricity.

The electrical safety course online takes about 1-2 hours, works on any device and ends with a short assessment with unlimited free retakes. Pass it and your electrical safety certificate downloads instantly: CPD Certified, RoSPA approved and accepted by employers, inspectors and insurers across Ireland.

The electrical safety training covers the whole discipline of working safely with electricity, across four modules. You start with an introduction to electrical safety: why the training matters, the most common injuries caused by unsafe working practices, from electric shock and burns to fires and explosions, and the legal responsibilities of employers and employees. Then you move into risk assessment: each element of an electrical risk assessment, the five key steps, the hierarchy of control and the basic requirements of a good assessment for the safe use and maintenance of electrical installations and equipment.

The second half is fully practical: a module on controlling hazards, covering how employers and employees keep installations and equipment safe, properly protected and maintained, including safe isolation, fuses, circuit breakers, Residual Current Devices, pre-use checks, visual inspections and combined inspection and testing, and a module on working safely with electrical equipment, covering the most common risks of working with or near electrically powered equipment, work near overhead power lines, underground cables and concealed wiring, fire and explosion risks, and risks when working on machinery. Pass the online assessment and your electrical safety certificate downloads instantly. CPD Certified and RoSPA approved.

The final assessment has 15 multiple choice questions, each with three answers to choose from. You need at least 12 correct out of 15, which is a 75% pass mark.

There is no time limit, and if you do not pass first time you can retake the test for free as many times as you need. Your electrical safety certificate is issued instantly once you pass.

The duty comes from the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005: Section 8 requires every employer to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision needed to work safely, and Section 19 obliges every employer to carry out a written risk assessment of workplace hazards, electricity included. On top of that, Part 3 of the General Application Regulations 2007 is dedicated to electricity, requiring installations and equipment to be constructed, installed, maintained and used so they prevent danger.

This accredited electrical safety course is the accepted proof of that training, aligned with the Irish framework the HSA enforces. Our certificate carries a unique verification code, so inspectors, auditors and insurers can confirm it in seconds.

Workers of all levels whose activities involve electrical equipment or close contact with electrical installations, and anybody who manages them. That includes electricians, builders and construction workers, IT technicians, communications engineers, power and energy suppliers and engineers, appliance repair workers, PAT testers and cable engineers, plus facilities and maintenance staff who move equipment and change fittings every day.

It is designed as a complete introduction to electrical safety, so no prerequisites are needed. Employers, managers and supervisors take it to understand their risk assessment and maintenance duties, and workers take it to understand the hazards they face and the steps that keep them safe. Many organisations assign it as induction training for every role that involves electrical equipment.

Around 1-2 hours of focused study finishes the electrical safety training online. It is fully self paced, so you can split it across days or shifts, and your progress saves automatically on every device.

Your electrical safety certificate generates the instant you pass, ready to download, print or email. No classroom day, no travel, no waiting.

Valid for 3 years from your pass date, in line with best practice for refresher training in Irish workplaces. The expiry date is printed on the electrical safety certificate itself.

Renewing means logging back in, completing the refreshed course and downloading the new certificate on the spot. The Employer Dashboard warns you before anyone on the team lapses, keeping the inspection folder always ready.

No, and it is important to be clear about that. This is electrical safety awareness training: it teaches you to recognise electrical hazards, understand risk assessments and controls, and work safely with and around electrical equipment. It does not qualify you to carry out electrical work that Irish law reserves for a competent or authorised person, such as installation, repair or live working.

What it does deliver is the safety awareness layer employers, inspectors and insurers expect everyone working near electricity to have, from the apprentice on the first day to the facilities manager signing off contractors. Qualified electricians take it too, as recognised proof of up to date safety awareness for tenders, audits and site inductions.

Far more than bare wires. The course teaches you to recognise damaged cables, plugs and casings, overloaded sockets and adaptors, equipment used in wet or dusty conditions, missing or bypassed protective devices, scorch marks and burning smells that signal overheating, and the hidden dangers of drilling into walls, digging near underground cables or working close to overhead power lines.

Every hazard is shown with real photographs and paired with the control that answers it, from removing damaged equipment from use to safe clearance distances and cable plans, so you can spot trouble on your very next shift.
