COURSE INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Electrical Safety & Advanced Systems, an advanced course designed to equip you with the critical knowledge and practical skills necessary to ensure the safe operation, design, and maintenance of electrical systems in complex environments.

Electrical systems power modern industries, but they also present serious hazards if not handled correctly. As systems become more advanced and integrated, understanding electrical safety protocols and best practices becomes increasingly important. This course delves into the principles of electrical safety, the standards that govern them, and the advanced technologies used to prevent accidents, mitigate risks, and improve system reliability.
