This course will provide participants with the required skills and knowledge to safely install high voltage and low voltage de-energised underground polymeric cables to meet regulatory, network operator and industry requirements.

The target participants for this course are employees currently working within the Australian Electricity Supply Industry. This includes employees of network asset owners, contractors and sub-contractors in electricity Generation, Transmission and Distribution.

Those who work on the network must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice.

Most participants will be licensed and trade qualified or hold a Certificate in a related technical discipline. In addition to trade qualifications, the participant groups will have completed a range of electrical and plant safety related training programs related to the roles they hold. Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems.

Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.

Delivery includes:

• Trainer led classroom presentations
• Theory assessment
• Onsite practical exercises and assessment

On successful completion of the course a participant will be able to:

• Understand the legislative framework that governs the installation of high voltage and low voltage de-energised underground polymeric cables and other relevant work activities;
• Understand and Comply with relevant regulations and enterprise procedures;
• Understand and Identify the hazards associated;
• Understand and safely perform the works;
• Understand and safely perform earthing and cable testing;
• Work Planning;
• Understand and safely use of LPG equipment, service tee joint, main tee joint, insulated end, straight through joint, repairing cables etc.;
• Understand and safely perform of trifurcating, HV joints, HV terminations, earth connections, cable identifying and spiking.
