OBJECTIVES
Operating regulations for high voltage systems focuses on current regulations surrounding the use of high voltage systems. There is constantly a need to address safety issues when working with high voltage electricity due to the increasing number of accidents occurring in the workplace. More and more accidents are reported annually, not only affecting those in the accidents but also placing a large financial burden on the company, lower levels of production due to down time and employee safety. This three day workshop will focus on the regulations set out to protect and manage the processes involved when dealing with high voltage systems. It will incorporate practical as well as theoretical input and delegates will be encouraged to participate throughout, aiding the learning process. Those individuals who work with high voltage electricity (authorized person) or are exposed to high voltage in any way (responsible persons), will benefit by attending this workshop. Delegates will also be introduced to the concept of POE – Portfolio of Evidence which is now being used nationally as proof and recognition of prior work done by an individual.
ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION
The learners will be subjected to practical assessments and on successful completion of the course, the learners will be awarded certificates of competence.
