In accordance with current safety regulations, personnel who must work with various electrical equipment must undergo proper training, as well as pass a knowledge test, for which special commissions are organized. After that, the student will be issued a certificate, which indicates the electrical safety group assigned to him. Only after these events, the enterprise issues an order to allow the employee to work independently with specific electrical equipment that needs maintenance.
Electrical safety group - a list of qualification requirements that divide electrical personnel into appropriate groups of persons, as a result of which responsibilities and duties are determined when working with the electrical facilities of the enterprise.
These ranks are determined not only by the minimum work experience with this equipment, but also by the nature of education (higher or secondary, technical or humanitarian, etc.), as well as the knowledge and skills gained during work.
The common name "electrical safety group" includes 5 categories:
