Introduction
A solid understanding of electrical earthing systems is essential for anyone involved in electrical installations. A well‑designed earthing system enhances electrical safety across all environments—from residential homes to commercial and industrial facilities. Regulations, Codes of Practice, safety programs, and structured training help reduce the likelihood and severity of electrical incidents affecting people, property, and livestock.
While earthing knowledge is commonly associated with electrical professionals such as electricians, technicians, and engineers, the reality is that everyone interacts with electrical appliances and extension cords daily. Therefore, basic awareness of earthing principles benefits all users.
This course is designed to provide both general awareness for the public and practical design knowledge for electrical practitioners. The curriculum balances foundational understanding with essential design concepts relevant to industry professionals.
Course Objective
This one‑day program provides participants with essential knowledge of earthing and bonding, key requirements of SS 551, and important design considerations for earthing systems. The course includes demonstrations, quizzes, and group discussions to reinforce learning and promote electrical safety awareness.
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for:
· Electrical consultants, Licensed Electrical Workers (LEWs), electricians, technicians, engineers, supervisors, and technical executives involved in electrical installation design, construction, operation, or maintenance.
· Company management, safety practitioners, contractors, and owners of electrical installations who wish to better understand earthing systems and regulatory requirements.
· Individuals with no electrical background who want to gain awareness of earthing systems and electrical safety.
What Participants Will Learn
Participants will gain practical knowledge and confidence in applying earthing system design principles within Singapore’s regulatory framework. By the end of the course, they will understand:
- The purpose and operation of earthing systems
- Key differences between earthing and bonding
- Types of earthing systems used in Singapore
- Testing methods and maintenance practices
- Salient requirements of SS 551
