Verify that contractors performing electrical connection inspection meet the same standard as direct employees.
Managing Periodic Inspection Programmes for Critical Electrical Connections
Turn electrical connection inspection from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Safety performance on electrical connection inspection degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Where this strand of occupational health and safety depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Where this area of occupational health and safety is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in electrical connection inspection before they become incidents. This programme builds this part of occupational health and safety from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Most organisations already have a policy on this strand of occupational health and safety; far fewer can show it working. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of electrical connection inspection rather than to abstract argument. Participants who influence the occupational health and safety capability without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this aspect of occupational health and safety that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Anticipate the objections that electrical connection inspection will attract internally and answer them in advance.
Recognise early indicators that electrical connection inspection is drifting away from its intended design.
Carry out a structured risk assessment of electrical connection inspection and rank findings by consequence.
