About the Safe Access to High Voltage Substations/Switchrooms Programme

This training programme is designed for electrical and non-electrical personnel who need to enter high voltage substations, or switchrooms as part of their work.

It will focus on electrical hazards, different types of HV equipment and the precautions you should take to prevent danger to both yourself and others.
