HSE Inspectors’ Guide to Electrical Safety
Live Online
27 September 2022 - 28 September 2022
Introduction
This workshop will be delivered by current and former Specialist
Electrical Inspectors with extensive industry experience including
giving guidance to duty holders, experience with serious incident
investigations and taking enforcement action. The workshop is based
on HSE's practical enforcement experience which arises out of the
businesses it inspects, generally those in the higher risk
industries but also those where although the hazards can be high,
the risks are thought to be well-controlled.
The workshop will give you a practical understanding of what HSE
inspectors are looking for in the control of electrical safety
risks, including the effectiveness of appropriate controls. You
will review known high-risk electrical safety issues together with
the controls based on HSE's investigation experiences and
understand the practical application of enforcement.
The course will cover:
- Relevant legislation, guidance and industry best practice;
principles of enforcement, recent case law examples.
- High-risk and priority issues an HSE inspector will focus on in
general electrical safety.
- Managing electrical distribution networks and controlling risks
to third parties; legislation, guidance.
- How to reflect on and plan for any necessary improvements in
the control of risks associated with electricity before an HSE
inspector calls.
- Practical demonstration of hazards associated with electrical
control systems.
- Electrical safety issues that are likely to trigger enforcement
action.
- What happens when things go wrong? (An insight into the
investigation progress and things you can do to assist with the
process)
- To identify possible systems (policies, procedures and people
issues) that will help you better manage electrical safety.
