Course Overview

The EUSR Impressed Voltage Awareness for Managers & National Grid Supplier Requirements (SR/234) Overview course is designed to equip project managers, site supervisors, and line managers with the knowledge and understanding required to safely manage teams working near high-voltage (HV) infrastructure. This accredited training ensures managers can recognise impressed voltage (IV) hazards, implement risk control measures, and supervise safe systems of work in line with National Grid and industry safety standards.

Delegates will gain practical awareness of impressed voltage risks, understand their managerial responsibilities, and learn to proactively prevent incidents on projects involving HV cables, overhead lines, substations, and associated equipment. The course highlights best practices, protocols, and documentation necessary for compliance, giving managers confidence to oversee safe operations on-site.

This course is designed to provide guidance and best practice for those working on or in proximity to National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) assets, it references NGET procedures and industry practices to support understanding and application in the workplace. It is not an official NGET training course and is not endorsed by or delivered on behalf of NGET.

Who should Attend This Course

This course is designed for:

  • Electrical design engineers and consultants
  • Substation and HV infrastructure designers
  • CAD technicians working on utility projects
  • Project managers and supervisors overseeing HV works
  • Contractors working on or near National Grid assets

Prerequisites

While there are no specific EUSR or National Grid prerequisites listed, previous relevant experience or attendance at foundational courses like the EUSR Basic Electrical Safety Competence (BESC AME) is likely beneficial, and the training is designed for those with a professional background in high-voltage (HV) project design.

What To Have With You To Attend The Course

Assessment

At the end of the course, delegates will undertake a range of assessments — including practical activities, oral questioning, and multiple-choice and written tests — to demonstrate their understanding of impressed voltage awareness principles.

Course Content

This course combines technical awareness, risk management principles, and regulatory guidance to prepare managers for overseeing HV works safely.

Topics include:

Impressed Voltage Principles

  • Understanding the nature and risks of impressed voltages
  • Typical impressed voltage hazards encountered on HV projects
  • How impressed voltage can affect metalwork, services, and personnel

Management Responsibilities

  • Managerial roles in risk assessment and control measures
  • Supervising safe systems of work for teams operating near HV assets
  • Recognising potentially dangerous situations and escalation protocols
  • Ensuring compliance with National Grid working practices and Supplier Requirement 234 (formerly TP234)

Site Awareness & Safe Work Practices

  • Working near high-voltage cables, overhead power lines, substations, and power generation equipment
  • Reviewing and implementing permits, protocols, and documentation
  • Understanding the responsibilities of designers and key personnel in controlling IV risks

Best Practice & Regulatory Guidance

  • Applying industry guidance and best practice to mitigate impressed voltage hazards
  • Raising awareness and understanding among all personnel engaged in project delivery
  • Proactively avoiding accidents and incidents associated with impressed voltage

Assessment

  • Knowledge checks and practical discussions to confirm understanding of IV hazards, risk control, and managerial responsibilities
  • Successful delegates receive EUSR Impressed Voltage Awareness certification for managers
  • Delivery Format: Classroom-based training with scenario discussions and practical examples.
  • Prerequisites: Designed for managers and supervisors; no prior electrical experience is required, though familiarity with HV projects is beneficial.
  • Certification: Delegates receive EUSR Impressed Voltage Awareness certification, recognised across the utilities sector.
  • Health & Safety: Delegates will gain knowledge to manage teams safely around HV infrastructure; PPE is not usually required for classroom-based sessions but may be needed during on-site walkthroughs.
  • Corporate Value: Supports compliance with National Grid and UK utility safety standards, enhances managerial competence, and ensures project teams work safely around impressed voltage hazards.
