The course is designed to provide the participant with the knowledge and skills to enable them to safely act as an Authorised Tester working under a Sanction for Test (SFT).

The target learners for this course are employees currently working within the Australian Electricity Supply Industry who will be required to receive SFT for the purpose of gaining access to electrical apparatus to perform electrical testing that cannot be completed under the terms of an Electrical Access Permit (EAP).

This includes employees of network asset owners, contractors and sub-contractors in electricity Generation, Transmission and Distribution. Those who work on the network must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice.

Most learners will be licensed and trade qualified or hold a Certificate in a related technical discipline. In addition to trade qualifications, the learner groups will have completed a range of electrical and plant safety related training programs related to the roles they hold.

Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems. Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.

Delivery includes:

• Trainer led classroom presentations
• Theory assessment

On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:

• Identify the requirements of the SFT Procedures used within the Electrical Supply Industry,
• Identify the hazards associated with electrical apparatus in a manner other than prescribed by the SFT procedure,
• Demonstrate the ability to safely and effectively be a tester in charge (TIC) of a test site with due consideration of the task at hand, members of the work party and the general public.
