1 – GENERAL OBJECTIVE 

Train the professionals in safety and prevention in accidents with electricity in the Electrical Power System, in compliance with the text of NR-10, considering the Administrative Rule MTPS no. 508, of April 29, 2016, accrediting them to the authorization for works in electrical installations in areas of high voltage.

Considering the various branches of activities in the SEP, this course addresses the concepts of safety related to all levels of tension, as well as to the generation, transmission, distribution and consumption phases; including other non-specific activities involving high voltage (eg painting professionals performing work inside a substation).

2 – ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE

At the end of the course, the student will know about:

• Identify possible risks arising from incorrect practices with electricity;
• Identify the risks of your work environment;
