What is the purpose of this course?
Electrical safety in organisations is often the responsibility of non-electrically qualified staff, such as facilities managers, risk managers or health and safety officers who have not had systematic training in how to prevent electrical hazards in the workplace.
These hazards can range from any employee or visitor being injured by malfunctioning electrical equipment through to professional mechanics and electricians or external contractors carrying out tasks without adequate instruction or supervision.
Even qualified electrical engineers may not be fully aware of all the technical safety advice available which is relevant to the job or organisation where they are working.
What is covered in the course?
This course is based on the IET’s 2nd ed. Code of Practice for Electrical Safety Management.
In-depth interactive sessions are designed to show delegates how to recognise good practice and assess how their organisation compares.
Examples and case studies will aid delegate understanding.
New Code of Practice Book
There is a new Code of Practice book as of December 2022. By attending the course, you will be given a free copy, to assist your understanding of the topic.
It has been updated to include considerations around the management of change, the implications of outsourcing work on the electrical equipment and installations, and an updated self-assessment tool to identify what systems exist and how effective they are in managing responsibilities.
