ELA - Electrical safety at work according to SS-EN 50110-1
Training in the industry-wide rules and agreements that are required at Hitachi Energy in order to create an electrically safe work environment.

Course Objectives
 

The aim of this course is to provide you at Hitachi — working on, with,

or near electrical installations where there may be an electrical hazard (e.g., in industrial environments or electrical installation work) — with the knowledge required to prevent electrical accidents.


By working in accordance with the Swedish standard SS-EN 50110-1, Operation of Electrical Installations, you are considered to meet the requirements of the Work Environment legislation concerning "adequate safety".


The course clarifies organisation, areas of responsibility, roles, competencies, definitions, and working methods to make the industry-wide agreements, established as Swedish standards, more transparent.
