This is a 2-day electrical safety high voltage training program which addresses particularly, but not exclusively, to those substation electricians responsible for medium voltage systems (25kV) and to utility personnel responsible for 69kV to 500kV systems. The course explores all ranges that surely are of interest to an electrical professional; wether we're talking about the Low, Medium or High Voltages. The course starts with a brief introduction into the Low Voltage Safety field and continues with an elaborate and complex itinerary on Medium & High Voltage Safety procedures.

During this training session you'll learn valuable information on both theoretical and practical fields. Your theoretical background will be completed with the most important aspects of the CSA Z462 standard. Then to these information we'll add a great amount of practical knowledge. Through the most important topics we prepared for you we can mention:

• Hazards Recognition - which covers everything, starting from safe insulation procedures and ends with the complex emergency systems.
• Management Controls - which focuses mainly about electrical code and engineering controls.  
• Safety Documentation - best practices, suitable work & operating procedures and permits &clearances.
• PPE
• Grounding
• Switching 
• Job Planning

During these 2 days of intensive training we will teach you about:

Electrical Accidents - electrical faults & accidents - a retrospective but actual situation.

CSA Z462 Standards.

Recognizing Hazards - insulation, cables, transformers, fault currents, switchgear, breakers, fuses, relays, motors, capacitors, emergency systems.

Management Control - legislation, electrical code, purchasing & engineering controls.

Safety Documentation - rules to be followed, safe work practices & procedures, codes of practice, permits of clearances.

Physical Equipment - safety equipment, signs & barriers, equipment protection, interlock & grounding.

Field Control - inspections, job planning, hazard identification & reporting.

Work Methods - limits of approach & switching practices.

Grounding - faults, induced voltages, safe grounding, temporary grounds.

Switching - single line diagrams, using prints, electrical system drawings, lockout/isolation, switching workshop.

Job Planning - hazard control & job planning.
