Safe Isolation of Low Voltage Electrical Installations for Plumbers & Heating Engineers
Description
Course objectives of this training course are to enable delegates to meet the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 in respect to safe isolation of electrical equipment and competence to prevent danger and injury.
There is no expiry date for this course.
The material produced will serve both as a means of learning, as well as a tool of reference for future use. It is important for non-electrical personnel and managers to have a clear understanding of the legal requirements and practical implementation of safe isolation. This will ensure that they fully understand the process and the risks involved in failing to adopt these processes.
The training course includes:
- Introduction to safe isolation
