OC: Electricity and Electrical Inspections: From the Inside Out
35
This course is intended to be an informative and educational overview of electricity and electrical inspections, which are pertinent to professional inspectors. Because of the nature of electricity and the responsibility that electrical inspections inherently possess, it is important to review the basics from time to time. An understanding of electricity and electrical systems is integral to a safe, secure, and functional home.
Additionally, incorrectly managed electrical systems can carry a high degree of danger; therefore, these inspections must be compliant with relevant NFPA and NEC codes. Upon the completion of this course, the professional inspector will have a renewed understanding of electrical inspection requirements.
This course will provide a brief history of electricity and the scientists who contributed the building blocks that made our modern-day electrical theories, principles, and systems possible. We will then discuss safety preparedness and adequate preparation when performing a safe electrical inspection, as well as the steps involved in an electrical inspection. Lastly, we will provide an overview of effective communication to communicate the findings of the inspection to the client.
