Sähkötyöturvallisuuskoulutus

Sähkötyöturvallisuuskoulutus is a mandatory safety training in Finland for individuals who perform electrical work. This training ensures that workers understand the risks associated with electricity and know how to work safely to prevent electrical accidents. The training covers topics such as electrical hazards, safe work practices, emergency procedures, and the use of personal protective equipment.

The Finnish legislation, specifically the Decree on Electrical Work (1434/2016), mandates that employers must ensure their employees receive adequate training on electrical safety. Sähkötyöturvallisuuskoulutus is designed to meet these legal requirements. The training typically involves both theoretical knowledge and practical exercises, focusing on understanding electrical systems, identifying potential dangers, and implementing preventative measures.

Upon successful completion of the training, participants receive a certificate. This certificate serves as proof of their competence in electrical safety. The validity period of this certificate can vary, and refresher courses may be required to keep knowledge up-to-date with changing regulations and technologies. Employers are responsible for verifying that their employees hold a valid certificate before assigning them to electrical work.

The aim of sähkötyöturvallisuuskoulutus is to minimize the risk of electrical shocks, fires, and other electrical-related injuries in the workplace. It plays a crucial role in promoting a safe working environment and protecting the health and well-being of workers involved in electrical installations, maintenance, and repairs.
