Electrical accreditation training – Initial

Anyone required to work in an electrical environment.

Must be at least 18 years old, medically fit and understand French.

The aim of the training is to familiarise personnel with electrical safety standards and to provide them with the skills they need to work safely around electrical installations.

Reminder of the regulatory context: Article R4544-10 – A1 of the French Labour Code specifies that “the employer shall issue, maintain and renew the authorisation in accordance with the procedures contained in the standards referred to in Article R.4544-3. The employer shall provide each worker with a book of instructions drawn up on the basis of the relevant provisions of these standards, supplemented, where applicable, by safety instructions specific to the work performed”.

Standard NF C 18-510 proposes preventive measures to ensure the safety of people against electrical hazards when working in an electrical environment. It complies with the recommendations of the UTE – Union Technique de l’Electricité – the INRS and the NF C 18-510 – A2 standard (June 2023) in terms of duration, teaching methods and practical application.

Theoretical part in class

The essential points for controlling electrical risk :

– Basic quantities (physical quantities in electricity, electrical networks, from production to use, earthing diagrams);

– Electrical hazards, analysis of electrical risks and accidents, electrification mechanisms (electrocution, electrification, dangerous voltage and current thresholds), short circuits, dangerous voltage and current thresholds, causes of accidents, human and material factors;

– Definitions of voltage ranges, protection ratings against Bare Live Parts (PNST), environmental zones, neighbourhood zones, risk zones;

– Mobile and portable equipment and tools;

– Electrical authorisation symbols (the different levels of authorisation, the different types of operation, the supervisory chain, work procedures);

– Collective and individual protective equipment (protective equipment, electrical consignment, marking out the work area, insulating blankets, insulating gloves: latex or composite; face shields, insulating mats);

– Consignment (the different stages of consignment, the equipment required, good practice)

– Documents (authorisation certificate, consignment certificate, work permit, notice of end of work, declaration of work project).

Practical part in class

During the practical work, the trainees will be assessed on the following knowledge and skills:

– Identification of LV/HV structures or LV/HV installations and the environmental zones to be worked on;

– Risk assessment for a given situation and corresponding to the relevant authorisations;

– Behaviour appropriate to the situation and compliance with safety regulations;

– Identify, check and use collective and individual protective equipment (insulating gloves, face shields, markings, etc.);

– Eliminating the risk of voltage being present (covering, dressing, etc.);

– Roles of the various players (electrical operations manager, etc.);

– Carrying out an LV consignment and using the consignment certificate, work permit and end-of-work notice.
