Safety is one of the most important aspects of working in the electrical industry. A Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician includes training related to workplace health and safety, risk control and safe electrical practices. Students learn about identifying hazards and following procedures when working with electrical equipment and installations. The course also includes units relating to electrical circuit isolation, testing and troubleshooting. Developing these skills is important because electrical work can involve significant workplace risks when correct procedures are not followed. AITE also states that workplace and training activities are subject to relevant occupational health and safety requirements.
