HV and LV switching operations and safety rules

In this webinar, we will take a look at the theoretical aspects of safety as well as the practical and statutory issues. One of the main causes of electrical accidents is said to be incorrect isolation of the circuits where work is to be done. To ensure safety of operators and maintenance personnel, proper switching procedures are necessary and more so when the circuits have multiple feeds and are complex. The possibility of voltage being fed back from secondary circuits needs to be considered as well. This webinar emphasises on the isolation procedures to ensure proper and safe isolation of HV, LV and secondary circuits.

You will learn how to:

• Appreciate the basic theoretical aspects involved in electrical safety
• Understand the importance of proper isolation procedures for HV and LV equipment
• Understand the coordinating permit access authority procedures
• Gain a clear understanding of the procedures/practices adopted for safe working
• Identify the various statutory and legal regulations/acts dealing with electrical safety at work
• Gain an insight into the organisational aspects of safety
• Become familiar with the organisation's electrical safety rules (applicable to on-site training)
