By completing this EUSR-approved IV training course, you will:

• Gain EUSR certification in Impressed Voltage Awareness
• Understand the principles and risks of impressed voltage
• Recognise common sources of IV hazards on National Grid sites
• Apply safe systems of work to manage and mitigate impressed voltage
• Comply with National Grid impressed voltage awareness requirements
• Improve site safety and reduce electrical risk exposure

Who Should Attend?

This impressed voltage awareness training is suitable for:

• Contractors and operatives working on or near National Grid infrastructure
• Engineers, supervisors and managers overseeing high-voltage projects
• Utility workers, cable jointers, and excavation teams exposed to electrical hazards

Course Overview

To equip Operatives working on or near equipment where Impressed Voltages may present a danger - with the knowledge to be able to avoid an accident or incident.

Talk through the correct protocol, documents and permits needed to Safely Work on National Grid systems.

Course Content

• This training will provide the information required for an individual to be able to recognise circumstances or situations where an Impressed voltage may be apparent on any Project.
• It will equip all those accessing the site with the knowledge to be able to avoid the dangers presented by Impressed voltages.
• It will enable individuals to recognise potentially dangerous situations and report concerns to the appropriate responsible person.
• It will raise awareness of working in close proximity to High Voltage Cables, Overhead Power Lines, Substation and Power Generation equipment.
• It will raise awareness of National Grid Working Practices and Supplier Requirement 234 (was TP234)

Assessment

A variety of activities, oral, multiple choice and written questions.

Certificates

Upon successful completion of the course and assessment, delegates are awarded EUSR (Energy & Utility Skills Register) Impressed Voltage Awareness — valid for 3 years. 

They will be registered on the EUSR database and receive:

• EUSR Card (plastic smart card or virtual card)
• Listing on the EUSR Register of Certified Individuals

To remain certified, you will need to retake the assessment before the expiry date on your card.

National Grid Impressed Voltage Requirements

National Grid mandates that anyone working on or near their sites where impressed voltage hazards exist must complete approved impressed voltage training. This course helps you meet that compliance requirement with confidence.
