The content of the Electrical Safety Card training in more detail

In this training, we discuss safe and professional work in the electrical industry through three sections. Each section is designed to provide comprehensive information and practical instructions on different aspects of electrical safety.

Section 1: Electrical Safety and its Importance

In the first section, we focus on the basic principles of electrical safety and their importance. Topics include:

• Electrical safety and the SFS 6002 standard: Why the standard is followed and who it is aimed at.
• Legal requirements: The legality of the training and its validity period (5 years).
• Accidents and their prevention: Why the “electricity kills” principle is vital to understand.
• Electrical deviations and standards: Examples of situations where safety can be compromised.
• Electrical accidents and first aid: Instructions for emergency situations.
• Accident statistics: What we can learn from past incidents.

The goal is to ensure that everyone understands the importance of electrical safety and knows how to act safely.

Section 2: Working safely on electrical sites

The second section discusses safety requirements and practices on electrical sites. Topics include:

• Safety distances: What they are and how to comply with them.
• Electrical work management: Responsibilities and practices to ensure safety.
• Safe electrical work: Principles, equipment and procedures.
• Occupational safety: Key guidelines and regulations.
• Electrical work at EU level: Overview of electrical work standards.
• Commissioning-Inspection: Inspection documentation and practices.

The aim is to provide tools for understanding electrical site safety requirements and the corresponding operating procedures.

Section 3: Voltages, power outages and fuse replacement

The third section deals with safe working with voltages and power outages and replacing fuses. Topics include:

• Voltage management: How to identify and handle voltages safely.
• De-energized state: Working without voltage and the principles of power interruption.
• Fuse replacement: Safe procedures when replacing fuses.
• Replacement work: Special features and safety requirements for replacement work.
• Professional responsibilities: When the work requires the expertise of an electrical professional or a specially instructed person.
• Temporary interruption: Interrupting electrical work safely and appropriately.

The goal is to ensure that participants understand the basics of safe working and recognize situations where special expertise is required.

Assignments and learning assessment

During the training, each section contains assignments where participants can reflect and answer questions.

• Free text field: Allows for in-depth reflection.
• Assignment review: All answers are reviewed before the course is approved.
• Preliminary approval: You will receive preliminary approval when the training is fully completed.

Assignments are an essential part of the learning process, and completing them carefully will support your learning.

This training provides comprehensive information and practical skills that are essential to ensure safe and efficient work in electrical tasks.
