Safe Operation Review & Competence Assessment

Course code: S6

Introduction

This is a practical programme designed to assess candidates’ safe switching practices when operating on High and Low voltage power systems up to and including 15kV.  It is intended for candidates requiring independent external assessment of their level of competence and is not intended as a training course.

Participants

Electrical engineers / supervisors / technicians / electricians responsible for the inspection, operation, maintenance and repair of High and Low voltage power systems.

Aim

To assess the competency of electrical personnel prior to becoming an Authorised/Senior Authorised person for safety and operational switching duties of electrical power systems. It includes theoretical, verbal and practical assessments.  This is an individual assessment and most dates can be arranged to suit clients’ requirements. Assessments of competency at higher voltages may be undertaken at client’s premises
