Electrical Safety in CTE

The Electricity Safety in CTE for Educators Course is a comprehensive, online self-paced training designed to strengthen your ability to teach, supervise, and manage safer electrical environments in middle and high school programs. Built specifically for CTE educators and program leaders, this course provides clear frameworks for managing electrical hazards, controlling energized work, and guiding students through safer practices in labs and shops. Led by nationally recognized safety experts, the course focuses on how electrical safety is taught and enforced, not just the technical concepts, so you can confidently manage risks that are often unseen. You will gain practical strategies to reduce incidents, improve supervision, and maintain safe, compliant learning environments.

While this course is essential for CTE teachers working with electrical systems, it is also highly valuable for CTE Directors, Building Administrators, Facilities Managers, and Instructional Supervisors who share responsibility for electrical safety and compliance. By understanding how risk develops across energized equipment, work conditions, and student behavior, you are better equipped to support instruction, identify safety gaps, and ensure consistency across programs. This course helps you move from reactive problem-solving to proactive risk management. When safety expectations are aligned across roles, both instruction and accountability improve.

Course Model: 100% Online, Self-Paced

Intended Audience:
Recommended for middle and high school CTE teachers (Electrical, Engineering, Robotics, Manufacturing, and STEM programs). Also appropriate for CTE Directors, Principals, Assistant Principals, Facilities Personnel, and Safety Coordinators responsible for lab and shop environments.

By completing this course, you will learn:

• How to teach safer electrical practices, including hazard recognition, work boundaries, and safer work procedures
• How to apply critical safety systems, such as lockout/tagout, and establishing electrically safer work conditions
• How to manage risks associated with energized equipment, arc flash hazards, and electrical exposure
• How to select, use, and maintain appropriate PPE and insulated tools
• How to manage electrical hazards in common lab conditions, including wet environments, temporary wiring, and portable equipment
• How to supervise students working around electrical systems and intervene before unsafe conditions escalate
• How to respond to electrical incidents, including shock and burn situations, and manage safer shutdown procedures
• How to document incidents and reinforce accountability through clear reporting practices
• How to reduce potential legal liability by meeting your Duty of Care through consistent supervision and instruction
• How to build and reinforce a culture of electrical safety across your classroom or program

This is not just an electrical safety course; it is a professional training experience designed to help you lead safer instruction in environments where hazards are often invisible. You will leave with practical strategies you can apply immediately to improve safety, strengthen supervision, and build confidence in your program.
