Webinar details
Electrical safety failures are rarely random – they’re often the result of overlooked design flaws, misunderstood principles, or gaps in practical knowledge.
In this free webinar, you’ll hear directly from industry expert Naser Hash, who teaches EIT’s Professional Certificate of Competency in Essential Practices for Electrical Safety, Earthing and Lightning Protection.
You’ll gain real-world insights into:
- Why earthing systems fail in practice
- Common misconceptions around lightning protection
- Hidden electrical hazards that can lead to serious risk
This session is designed to give you a practical preview of the course, while delivering immediately applicable knowledge you can use in your role.
