Electricity can be extremely useful, but it also presents serious risks when handled incorrectly. A Certificate III Electrician course therefore places considerable attention on safe working practices. Students learn about workplace health and safety regulations, electrical risks, isolation procedures and testing. These subjects help learners understand why electrical tasks must be approached carefully and methodically. AITE includes units covering WHS requirements, controlling electrotechnology risks and rescuing a person from a live low-voltage panel. Learning these principles early can help students develop a safety-conscious approach that can be carried into future electrical work.
