Mechanical to Electrical Cross Skilling Course
The objective of the Mechanical to Electrical Cross Skilling Course is to provide delegates with the knowledge, skills, and safe working practices required to confidently undertake a broad range of electrical tasks within an industrial environment.
The course outline covers key elements of electrical safety, including the relevant requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the fundamental provisions of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992.
Delegates will learn appropriate methods of electrical isolation, the safety checks that must be completed before commencing work, and correct termination procedures. The curriculum also addresses the correct actions to take in the event of accidental electric shock, the distinction between domestic and industrial electrical standards, and the principles behind earthing, double insulation, and balancing electrical systems.
In addition, participants will explore the various methods of circuit protection essential for maintaining system integrity and personal safety. Successful completion of the programme results in the award of an Elevated Knowledge certificate of completion, and the course can be delivered either on site or at Elevated Knowledge’s designated premises in Stockport.
