Electrical safety certification is in place because electricians are always exposed to electrical safety and arc flash dangers on a day-to-day basis, whether they are working on electrical systems in large buildings or installing electrical systems on construction sites. However, even after skilled electricians receive their initial certification, they seek certification for physical protection and to increase their value in the field.

Construction of Electrical Safety Hazards

Common electrical hazards that occur on construction sides include working with energized/hot circuits or working around overhead power lines. For example, materials like ladders and scaffolding that accidentally come in contact with these energized power lines can electrocute any worker holding or even touching that ladder or scaffolding. Also, incorrect or unsafe use of ground plugs for electrical cords can cause hazards. Plus, falls from working overhead can also cause electrocution if that fall results in accidental contact with a live electrical conductor.
