The course is designed to provide the learner with the knowledge and skills to enable them to safely work near a live electrical apparatus as a non electrical worker.

The target learners for this course are employees who are required to do work near powerlines or electrical apparatus. This includes farmers, builders, road construction crews, and councils.

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 / Self-paced online theory presentations
• Theory assessment
• Onsite practical exercises and assessment

Upon successful completion of the course, a learner will have developed an understanding of the following:

• The legislative framework that governs work activities on their site
• Relevant regulations and enterprise procedures
• Risk assessments and hazard identification
• PPE and electrical risk control measures
• Safe approach distances(SAD's)
• Carrying out work safely near live electrical apparatus as non-electrical worker
