The aim of the course is to re-assess a learner's competency, knowledge and skills to safely act as a High Voltage Operator.

The target learners for this course are employees currently working within the Australian Electricity Supply Industry. This includes employees of network asset owners, contractors and sub-contractors in the electricity Generation, Transmission and Distribution networks and also privately owned and operated HV networks.

Those who work on the network must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice.

Most learners will be licensed and trade qualified or hold a Certificate in a related technical discipline. In addition to trade qualifications, the learner groups will have completed a range of electrical and plant safety related training programs related to the roles they hold. Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems.

Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.

Delivery includes:

• Trainer led classroom presentations
• Theory assessment
• Onsite practical exercises and assessment

Upon successful completion of the course, a participant will have been re-assessed on their understanding of the following:

• The legislative framework that governs work activities on their site;
• Relevant regulations and enterprise procedures;
• Hazards associated with equipment and balance of plant;
• The work permit process from application, preparation, isolation, issue, completion, cancellation and restoration, in compliance with your enterprise procedures;
• Operation of high voltage, low voltage, control and protection devices associated with the site;
• The application and removal of fixed and portable earthing equipment, in compliance with enterprise procedures.
