Course overview
This Electrical Safe Isolation training has been designed for those who operate in the electrical industry. Plumbers, heating engineers, kitchen fitters, mechanical engineers, appliance installers, and handymen are examples of tradespeople. Its goal is to ensure that learners understand and can apply the industry’s Safe Working Procedure for the Isolation of Electrical Supplies. The training is based on the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations and BS7671.
When working on any electrical installation, regardless of size, it is critical that operatives employ the proper isolation process every time to avoid danger to themselves and other users or engineers while work is being done. The use of industry standard procedures has been found to avoid injury and reduce incidences of installations becoming live while work is being done.
This course will deliver the knowledge and skills to ensure learners understand the requirements and can apply it on site.
