This course is intended to be a reference with helpful and easily-accessible instructions on how to work safely with photovoltaic (PV) systems. It includes description of specific hazards, their frequent causes, and strategies to prevent and avoid them.

This course has three different sections:

PV System Characteristics and Hazards: provides the background of PV system characteristics and relevant hazards involved with PV systems. Recommended safe-guards are provided.
Safe PV Systems: presents a discussion of relevant safety standards and codes, and regulations that need to be followed and applied when designing, installing, testing and commissioning a PV system.
For Your Health: contains a discussion of possible injuries and elaborates on basic First Aid concepts.

Each PV installation presents hazards to engineers, technicians and maintenance staff. Helping you distinguish these hazards and avert injury is the main goal of this course.
