Hello all,
I am looking for advice on behalf of my work on what training is available for low voltage testing on live products.
For context of what is likely needed:
We usually build and test offshore electronic products which are low volume output, so the technicians (including myself) are electronic instrument technicians by trade. At times however we build and test goods with voltages of 110V AC, 230V AC or 370V DC for example. As we are manufacturing these, they often need set-up or fault found on which will require working on them live. We try and take all the necessary precautions while doing so, but the one main issue we have is technicians asking for further training.
When we have talked to electricians on what training they do, the answer has been they don’t work live.
Can anyone tell me of any courses that would give everyone a better understanding of the requirements to working live in a manufacturing background? Ideally if anyone comes for a manufacturing company and can detail any external training your test technicians have done would be preferred.
My work would obviously like training that would satisfy any HSE guidelines, however in this instance I would prefer training that is not about ticking boxes, but making the people doing the job be and feel safer.
Any recommendations or advice?
