This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to apply work health and safety (WHS) regulations, codes of practice, and workplace procedures in the electrotechnology industry. It ensures that workers understand their legal responsibilities, can identify hazards, and follow correct safety procedures in a variety of workplace environments.

This unit is often a core or pre-requisite unit for electrical and safety-related training.

Ideal for:

• Electrical apprentices and trade assistants
• Workers entering the electrotechnology or utilities industries
• Anyone undertaking safety-related training in high-risk environments
• Participants completing UET or UEE rescue and safety units

• Key WHS legislation, duties, and responsibilities
• Hazard identification and risk control measures
• Use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
