Course Information

This course is designed for personnel who need a thorough understanding of electrical risks, hazards, and safety measures. Participants will learn how to perform safe electrical isolations for equipment, whether their work involves electrical maintenance or dealing with ancillary equipment powered by a supply source or cabinet. This course is required for new staff in these roles.

Pre-requisites

Delegates should already have knowledge and understanding of how to use a multimeter to measure and detect voltage, as well as how to read circuit diagrams.

Course Outcomes

At the end of this course the delegates will understand:

• Procedures for working on or testing electrical equipment
• Electrical isolation procedures for equipment with a working voltage in excess of 175 volts or whose current is not limited to 25 amps or less.
• Retrieval of information from the relevant Departmental Instructions.
• Roles and responsibilities of those involved in electrical work.

Assessment

Delegates on this course will be assessed via a written theory exam, and successful delegates will be provided a certificate of competence.
