TELCO Electrical Risk Course

Goals

The objectives of the training TELCO Electrical Risk Course :

Provide the required knowledge and training to be able to provide services as an "authorised" worker with regard to electrical risk.

Program

Introduction/presentation of the course
Unit 1. Electrical accidents
Students should be able to identify and understand:
• The characteristics of electrical accidents.
• The causes of injuries in electrical accidents: electric shocks and explosions.
• The types of electrical contact: direct and indirect.
• Factors that influence electrical accidents and control methods.
• The effects of electric current on the body.
• The ability to resuscitate the accident victim.

Unit 2. Legislation on electrical risks
• The legal framework for electrical risk prevention.
• Royal Decree 614/2001 on electrical hazards: articles and definitions.
• Conditions to be met by workers to carry out electrical work: professional training.
• Royal Decree 614/2001 on electrical hazards: articles and definitions.

Unit 3. Performing work without voltage
• Identifying cutting equipment and tools.
• De-energise circuits by applying the five golden rules.
• Restore the supply under safe conditions.

Unit 4. Performing work in close proximity
• Analyse the location where the work is to be carried out and establish the risks and
safety distances.
• Provide instructions for carrying out work in proximity to low-voltage installations
voltage installations with accessible parts.
• Establish safety criteria in transformer stations and electrical substations
.
• Set out the working conditions in proximity to overhead power lines
underground power lines.

Unit 5. Live working
• Carry out measurements, manoeuvres, tests and checks on installations in safe conditions.
• Work with safety voltages.
• Work with direct current (batteries, telecommunications equipment, etc.) and differentiate the risks from those associated with alternating current.

Unit 6. Personal and collective protective equipment
• Understand and distinguish between the use of collective and personal protective equipment required for the work.

Unit 7. Carrying out work in the presence of combustible or explosive atmospheres and with a risk of static electricity.
• Identify an explosive atmosphere, its risks, types and characteristics.
• Identify premises and equipment at risk of static electricity.
• Define working methodologies for controlling both risks.

Unit 8. Action in the event of an electrical accident
• The protocol for action in the event of an accident. PAS protocol.
• Methodology for freeing someone trapped by electric current.

Unit 9. Specific electrical risk practice duration: 60 min. Practical training
• Safe suppression and restoration of low voltage.
• Carrying out measurements on low voltage electrical installations in safe conditions.
• Verification of the absence of voltage in telecommunications equipment and in the vicinity of live equipment and installations.
• Identifying situations involving work in close proximity.
