1-DAY TRAINING COURSE 5 JULY 2012

COURSE BACKGROUND

Electrical distribution installations and systems are getting increasingly complex today and incorporate a wider range of equipment and related accessories.

For safety reasons, electrical distribution within buildings must comply with Codes of Practice. For maintenance servicing, a ready means of isolating certain parts of the whole circuit must be provided, normally in the form of main switches for each building and, for large buildings each sub-division. Electricity can pose great danger and any oversight in installation and maintenance can compromise the safety of building occupants and operatives.

Whilst not directly involved in hands-on work, managers and supervisors will require a working knowledge of the principles and practice of electrical installations and maintenance for overseeing and ensuring work quality and safety compliance.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The course will provide an understanding of the rudiments of electrical installations and maintenance and working knowledge for effective supervision of electrical maintenance work and safety procedures in connection.
