GWO CoHE Electrical Safety
Duration: 1,5 days (classroom-based training only)
The aim of GWO’s CoHE Electrical Safety training module is to enable the participants to support and care for themselves and others while working with, and in the vicinity of, electricity in the wind industry and to perform assigned electrical work tasks safely and efficiently.
Upon successful completion of GWO’s CoHE Electrical Safety Module, the participants will be able to perform electrical work safely within the wind industry using electrical PPE, precautionary techniques, and electrical safety safe working practices to reduce the associated risks to the electrical hazards..
Overall learning objectives for the CoHE Electrical Safety Module, the participants will have the ability to:
- Take responsability for their own and others safety while working with, and in the vicinity of, electricity in the wind industry (Ability, intermediate level)
- Take responsibility for correctly completing a simple permit to work from beginning to end as the person responsible for establishing a safe work condition (Ability, intermediate level)
Course Content
The training is divided into the following lessons:
Introduction to the Training
- Responsibilities and role of a qualified electrical person
- Electrical PPE
- Electrical safe working practices
- Electrically safe working condition
- Testing and isolation
- Stored Energy
- Hazardous electrical safety scenario
- Training review
Training and experience prerequisites
There are prerequisites to attend the Electrical Safety
The participants must have completed the CoHE Basic Safety and the BTT Electrical module before attending the Electrical Safety Module. It is strongly recommended that before attending the Electrical Safety Module participants have some applicable working experience with electricity supervised by a Qualified Person. This means that the participants should have experience working in a team lead by a Qualified Person, who performed pre-task briefings, isolations, and testing, created a safe work condition for others to work under, lead and supervised work parties.
Target Group
This module is targeted at candidates whose scope of work will involve performing isolations and testing for
the absence of voltage (in accordance with existing documentation) to be able to safely carry out specific
tasks like component replacement, servicing and planned corrective maintenance on low voltage1 electrical
systems.
Additionally, this person will also be responsible for establishing an electrically safe work condition,
as e.g. a Qualified Electrical Person (NFPA 70E), Electrical Skilled Person (EN50110), Authorized Technician
(WTSR), to enable others to work safely on low voltage electrical systems.
