Electricity and electrical products are fundamental in our day to day life. However, if not used or maintained appropriately, they can represent serious risks. While electrical hazards are not the leading cause of on-the-job injuries and accidents, they can be fatal and costly. These injuries not only impact the lives of the workers and their families, but also affect the productivity of employers.

According to the standards, a worker is considered to be a qualified person when the training has been provided or experience to be familiar with the construction and operation of the equipment, as well as any hazards that may be involved. The regulations and standards also dictate that a qualified employee must have the knowledge to perform safely on energized circuits, and to be entirely familiar with safety equipment and precautionary techniques.
