It is entirely theory based and is completed by way of a multiple-choice open book assessment.

Portable Appliance Training (PAT)

On successful completion of the Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) course, delegates will have passed a range of practical competence assessments and a written assessment covering knowledge and understanding. This will enable the delegates to carry out PAT testing competently and safely.

Electricity at Work Regulations

 

The Electricity at Work Regulations affect every kind of employment in the U.K. including in factories, offices, shops, warehouses, colleges and hospitals. They place the responsibility on the employer to assess the work activities which use electricity, or which may be affected by it and define all foreseeable risks associated with these activities.

Employees have a duty to work in a safe manner and report all defects and unsafe practices. This training course draws attention to each aspect of the Regulations and explains how the requirements can be met and greater electrical safety achieved.

Control Panel Safe Access

 

The Control Panel Safe Access Workshop enables staff, with no electrical background, to safely rest an overload in a panel.

Delegates will be introduced to electrical concepts, such as voltage, current and resistance. They will be provided with an overview of The Electricity at Work Regulations and taught the dangers of electricity, AC/DC voltage levels and the procedure to adopt if somebody receives an electric shock.

There are practical exercises in component recognition and how to reset an overload in an electrical panel.

Electrical Duty Holder

An Electrical Duty Holder is a person appointed by the business with responsibility for the maintenance of the overall standard and quality of the electrical work undertaken within an organisation. Electrical Duty Holders also have a responsibility to ensure that persons carrying out the work are competent to carry out the range of duties/activities required of them.
