OLE AC Isolations - Level B (Authorised) Person

Duration of course: 4 Days

Maximum no. of Candidates: 8

Course aims:
To instruct delegates how to determine and fulfil their roles and responsibilities when undertaking Level B (Authorised) person duties. This course is designed to ensure delegates are fully aware of the dangers that can arise in the course of Level B (Authorised) person’s duties. Successful completion of this course does not mean that the delegate is allowed to carry out Level B (Authorised) persons duties, unless under direct supervision of a mentor during their probationary period, until they have been assessed by a licensed assessor as competent to do so in accordance with NR/SP/ELP/21070. The successful completion of this course can be used as supporting evidence of competence to reach the level required in NR/SP/ELP/21070.

Objectives:
At the end of the training the delegate will be able to:
• Demonstrate their ability to interpret correctly the relevant parts of NR/SP/ELP/29987 – Working on or about 25kV AC Electrified Lines when acting as a Level B (Authorised) person.
• Demonstrate their ability to test the OLE (under direction) using approved Voltage Testing Devices, apply and remove local earths (under direction), operate overhead line isolators/switches (under direction), and communicate with others clearly at a level necessary to avoid danger.
• Demonstrate their ability to remove objects from OLE.

Other information
The course will be delivered by Trainers/Assessors in a classroom using appropriate visual aids, supplemented by practical sessions on a simulated OLE training span and/or trackside. All delegates must be given the complete course. Other visual aids from the Sentinel library may be shown and discussed. All points and questions raised by delegates must be answered.
