Introduction

Electrical installations are used in industries, shopping malls, offices as well as domestic premises, etc. They are subject to compliance with the Electricity Act etc. relevant Regulations and Code of Practice, inter alia. It is vital that practitioners, operators, and owners of these installations have the necessary knowledge of the laws and design principles of the installations so that appropriate preventive measures can be instituted at the design stage to avoid future unnecessary electrical accidents. The purpose of this course is to provide, strengthen, and deepen them with an understanding of the regulatory requirements and installation design principles with a practical approach.

Objective:

These two days course includes essentials of SS638, SS650, Electricity Act and Electricity Regulations, design concepts of electrical installation. All aspects of course contents are related to practical approach.

There will be breaks between sessions, allowing Q and A, Continuous assessment in the form of random quizzes, and activities to re-call and re-instate what has been taught in class will be carried out to enhance the learning process e.g., reflective practices and social learning, etc.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for all practitioners who are electricians, electrical technicians, engineers, technical executives, supervisors, etc., dealing with electrical installation design, construction, operation, and maintenance work, etc.

The course is also good for the company management, safety practitioners, and owners of the electrical installations, Contractors, etc. to attend and understand the regulatory requirements as well as the design principles and take appropriate action to enhance the safety management of the installations.

In respect of career switching to electrical-related jobs, this course will provide the necessary knowledge for non-electrical workers to follow up.

Besides, the course is suitable for the practitioners who wish to apply for LEW licenses or upgrade their existing LEW licenses, to learn about or refresh their knowledge of LEW’s roles, procedures, duties and responsibilities, the laws and electrical installation design & principles.

What Participants Will Learn: This course is crafted to apply the design principles in electrical installations under the current regulatory framework to enhance the installations’ capability and operation confidence level. Most importantly, at the end of this course, participants will gain confidence and acquire the necessary knowledge in practical applications of electrical installation design principles as well as the regulatory requirements imposed in order to perform better in their job roles.
