Our EUSR certificate in Substation Access course is for persons who require Substation Access and Awareness of High Voltage Power Systems or low voltage switch rooms or control stations, and are required to work in the vicinity of, but not on, electrical power equipment.
The course will ensure all candidates who successfully complete the course have demonstrated their professionalism, safe behaviour and competence to understand and manage their responsibilities when entering, working inside or exiting electrical substations and switch rooms.
The course covers the arrangement of equipment within substations and switch rooms, safety procedures, understanding of key safes and Hasp systems, and steps to be taken in an emergency.
You can enrol at any time, and you are required to complete the course within twelve weeks
