Working on or near electrical installations.

No prerequisites are required to sit this course.

The course is available in the following languages: English; Danish. The aim of this course is to provide you with a detailed explanation of L-AUS requirements and how to work safely when near electrical installations. The course will also focus on the legal framework, organisational responsibilities, common electrical hazards and safety equipment, measuring instruments and what to do when accidents occur. Following completion of this course you will have learned and have an understanding of low voltage level electrical installations. You will also be able to show an understanding of the safety-related aspects, carry out risk assessment and use and inspect both suitable tools as well as personal protective equipment. This course will give you the necessary training to work with dead installations, live installations and in the vicinity of live installations. In addition, the course includes a basic knowledge of first aid in relation to electrical installations. This course is designed in accordance to the European standard EN 50110.
