Qualified electrician   

…………………..…  The qualified electrician is capable of carrying out work on 

electrical equipment, and identifying and preventing possible 

hazards independently due to specialist qualification, skills, and 

experience and knowledge of the applicable standards and 

regulations. 
The qualified electrician has been specifically trained for the 
working environment, and is familiar with the relevant standards 
and regulations. 

 

Basic requirements   

…………...…………  Staff must only consist of personnel who can be expected to 

per- form the work reliably. Personnel whose reactions are 

affected, e.g. by drugs, alcohol, or medication, are not 

permitted. 
When selecting staff, the applicable local age limits and specific 
professional regulations must be observed. 

 

Unauthorised parties   

…………...……… 

WARNING! 

Risk of injuries for unauthorised parties due to 
hazards in the installation area! 

Unauthorised persons, who do not fulfill the 
requirements described herein, are not familiar with 
the hazards in the installation area. Unauthorised 
persons are therefore at risk of serious or fatal 
injury. 
Therefore, all work must only be carried out by 
appropriately qualified staff. 

–  Keep unauthorised persons away from the 

installation area. 

–  In case of doubt, address the persons and 

instruct them to leave the installation area. 

–  Stop work while unauthorised parties are 

in the installation area. 

 

 

Training   

…………...………………….…….  The owner must provide staff with regular training. For better 

record keeping, a training log with the following minimum 

content has to be created: 



Date of training 



Name of the party receiving training 



PERSONAL SAFETY 
CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT 

Personal safety clothing and equipment is used to protect 

personnel from compromised safety and risks to health when 

working. 
Staff must wear personal safety clothing and equipment when 
performing different tasks upon, and with, the bus bar system. 
The individual sections of these instructions make specific 
reference to the requirements.
