the workshop
Employeesperformingoperationsandmaintenanceworkonhighvoltageelectricaltransmission
and distribution systems are exposed to a greater hazard than most other employees. In
industry the majority of safety rules and regulations originated from the painful experience of
workers who suffered serious injuries or even death. Therefore, rules should not be seen as a
means of limiting our freedom, but should rather be looked upon as valuable advice to ensure
safe working conditions. This training workshop covers the basic procedures in working safely
on high voltage systems including the aspects of safety management and safety auditing.
Pre-requisites
• A fundamental knowledge of electrical engineering
• Some experience in operation and maintenance of electrical equipment and/or
electrical networks
objectives
The workshop aims to impart a thorough overall knowledge of working safely on high voltage
installations and the various related topics including:
• Safety legislation
• Electrical hazards and safety management
• Technical aspects of electrical safety
• Safety in operation and maintenance
• Importance of periodic inspection of electrical installations for ensuring safety
• Safety audits to detect shortcomings
The workshop will include hands-on practice in safety documentation such as development of
switching plans and electrical access permits of different types.

3. The fee for each workshop covers all materials
including workshop manual, lunches
and refreshments
and Safety Operating Procedures
The program
practical sessions
This is a practical, hands-on workshop enabling you to work through exercises which reinforce
