Training of Trainers for Electrical Safety Awareness

Objective: It was found that most of the electricity consumers were unaware of its safe use. As a result, there were many electrical accidents in the rural community. Realizing this, it was necessary to implement a program that would help in raising awareness on a consumer level. Hence, training of trainers has been conducted so that with the few basics of electricity safety knowledge, major seen fire and life hazardous in the community could be significantly minimized. The specific objectives of these trainings are as follows:
• To provide fundamental knowledge of electricity,
• To impart knowledge of electrical safety,
• To enable participants to conduct awareness campaigns on electrical safety at consumer levels.
