This course is designed to cover three major areas relating to safety in transmission line work: personal safety, electrical safety, and work site safety. Specific attention is directed to proper clothing and protective equipment; hazards associated with slipping, tripping and falling, and lifting and moving loads; electrical hazards and steps that can be taken to safeguard against them; and how personnel can work safely at the job site, both on the ground and while climbing transmission structures.

This interactive online course assumed a familiarity with basic electrical theory and transmission and distribution systems. Participants without this prior training may require additional explanation or instruction.
