Electrical Safety


Electrical Safety Day (valid as a five-yearly update for workers, supervisors and managers)

Electrical safety day IS FOR EVERYONE and for those who request it includes the five-yearly update for Workers, Supervisors and Managers pursuant to the State-Regions Agreement of 21/12/11, thanks to the duration of 6 hours. The course will be structured according to the CEI 11-27 ed.V and CEI EN 50110-1 Standards, which have introduced numerous innovations on the state of the art of the safe execution of electrical work and non-electrical work with electrical risk. As regards the periodic updating of training, in the absence of specific indications in the CEI 11-27 standard, we remind you that art. 37 of Legislative Decree 81/08 provides that training be repeated in relation to the evolution of risks or the emergence of new risks. It therefore seems reasonable to provide a company-level refresher training course for electrical workers with a planned frequency (which we suggest five-yearly, similar to the frequency indicated for the refresher in the most recent State-Regions Agreements on health and safety training), as well as in the following circumstances: - legislative and/or regulatory developments on electrical safety; - transfer or modification of tasks (new electrical work to be carried out); - introduction of new equipment or work technologies relating to electrical work. Furthermore, for personnel already trained, instructed and qualified as suitable for carrying out electrical work, the type of work under voltage is specified, the CEI 11-27:2021 Standard specifies that "the validity of the authorization to work under voltage must be reviewed whenever necessary in accordance with the level of suitability of the person concerned. It is in any case good practice to review the suitability for electrical work under voltage on an annual basis". Teachers The electrical safety day that includes the CEI 11-27 / 2021 update provides for the contribution of specialized professionals able to offer participants both theoretical and practical teaching elements. The teachers are experts in the safety of electrical systems and in the assessment of electrical risk and have gained specific experience in training electrical workers for CEI 11-27 qualifications of PAV and PES.

Course for maintenance workers of mt/mt and mt/lt electrical cabins (CEI 78-17)

The CEI 78-17:2015 Standard aims to indicate the activities and professional skills of Maintenance Workers of MT/BT or MT/MT Substations in order to avoid the occurrence of faults caused by a lack or absence of adequate maintenance of the components of the related electrical systems and structures. With regard to training, the CEI 78-17 Standard (formerly CEI 0-15) requires that Maintenance Workers at Electrical Substations receive training in accordance with the CEI 11-27 Standard, integrated with additional training in accordance with the CEI 78-17 Standard. In particular, the CEI 78-17 Standard requires that Maintenance Workers must be trained in these activities specifically and on specific types of systems, as well as being subject to periodic updating. The CEI 78-17 Standard therefore establishes the professional requirements of workers who carry out maintenance activities and, in the event of a contract, on the basis of these requirements the client will verify the technical-professional suitability of the personnel as required by art. 26 of Legislative Decree 81/08 and subsequent amendments. The CEI 78-17 Standard (formerly CEI 0-15) is therefore an opportunity for companies that carry out electrical maintenance to demonstrate their professionalism and that of their MT/MT and MT/BT Electrical Substations Maintenance Workers. The proposed training course also responds to the great interest in the maintenance of MT/MT and MT/BT Electrical Substations also consequent to the measures taken by the Authority for Electricity and Gas (resolution no. 247 of 28/12/2004 and subsequent amendments). In particular, this resolution highlights the need to improve the quality of electrical systems of customers/end users powered directly by the high and medium voltage public network, also in order to avoid possible liabilities following faults in the Electrical Cabin that have repercussions on the supplier's network and/or other users connected to it. Teachers The Course for Maintenance Workers of Electrical Cabins (CEI 78-17:2015) provides for the contribution of specialist professionals able to offer participants both theoretical and practical teaching elements. The teachers are experts in the safety of electrical systems and in the assessment of electrical risk. All have gained specific experience in the training of Electrical Workers for CEI 11-27 qualifications of PAV, PES and PEI. The teachers are qualified as trainers in health and safety pursuant to DI 6/3/2013.
