Program Professional Framework
Certified High Voltage Electrical Safety (IEC, OSHA, NFPA & EN Standards)
Program Overview
High voltage substations, transmission lines and large industrial networks require safe systems of work that draw on several international references. This programme compares and applies the main ones: EN 50110 for operation of electrical installations, IEC 61936 for power installations above 1kV, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269 for power generation, transmission and distribution, and NFPA 70E for arc flash risk. Participants examine HV hazards, switching and isolation, earthing and bonding, step and touch potential, live working limits and PPE, and learn to build site rules that satisfy multinational operators in the Gulf.

Training Methodology
Applied Project & Assessment
Applied Project
Participants develop an HV safe work procedure for maintenance on a 132kV or 33kV substation bay, mapping each step to the relevant standard and including isolation and earthing points, approach distances, PPE and the emergency response plan.
Assessment
Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
