CANEGROWERS Mackay has worked with TAFE Qld to offer the new electrical safety online induction. This induction replaces the one that we offered previously and the content has been reviewed and updated by relevant electrical personnel.
This short course is suitable for sugar industry workers who are required to work near live electrical apparatus and some of the content includes powerlines risks, exclusion zones, step potential as well as some interesting case studies and short electrical awareness videos. The course will provide growers and their employees with a basic understanding of hazard identification, risk control and risk assessment specific to the rural industries.
The online course takes approx. one hour to complete and there is no charge. On completion, you will receive a certificate.
To enrol, visit the TAFE Qld website: Rural Electrical Safety Awareness | TAFE Queensland (tafeqld.edu.au)
