Training information: Responsibilities & Regulations – Electrical Safety

The training course “Responsibility & Regulations – Electrical Safety” is based on the increasingly important regulatory framework for electrical safety in Swedish workplaces. This field has seen growing complexity as requirements have increased alongside risk awareness in recent years. This, combined with high market pressure, has meant that more workplaces have found it difficult to stay up to date with current regulations and provisions, as well as what they mean for the business in practical terms.

The training answers questions such as what obligations you have as an employer toward your employees, as well as toward authorities and insurance companies. It also partially addresses requirements for facility design, access requirements, and your obligations as a client toward external parties.

When, for example, does an external resource fall under your organisation’s responsibility, and what does that mean for you? How do you establish and maintain electrical safety work that is as effective, safe, and compliant as possible? What do you need to do to comply with regulations on ongoing inspection? You will receive answers to these questions and much more during the training.

The core content of the training is based on applicable parts of standards SS-EN 50110-1, SS-EN 60204-1, SS-EN 61936-1, the Electrical Safety Act, the Electricity Act, the Electrical Safety Ordinance, the Electricity Ordinance, the National Electrical Safety Board’s regulations, the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s Statute Book, the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s regulations on Systematic Work Environment Management (SAM), and current EU directives.

The training comprises an effective training time of approximately 8 hours.
