Why is electrical low voltage training important?
Without appropriate health and safety training, lives are at risk. Approximately 30 people die each year and hundreds are injured through accidents, with electricity, whilst at work. In addition, studies indicate tens of thousands of unreported electric shocks occur every year.
Who would benefit from this authorised person course?
Those responsible for the practical implementation and operation of the management’s safety policy and procedures, on defined electrical systems.
This course also acts as an effective refresher for those that have already completed low voltage authorised person training.
This individual who attend’s should:
- Be over 23 years old
- Electrically qualified to NVQ or City & Guilds Level 3 as a minimum
- Have adequate technical knowledge of the site electrical equipment
For your information: the AE can recommend who they wish to the management. This is only if they feel they can fulfil some of the duties of an authorised person. In addition, non-electrical managers and others can be appointed in most cases, only to compile the documentation. However, the AE would place limitations on them.
