Course Overview

The EUSR Impressed Voltage Awareness for Managers & National Grid Supplier Requirements (SR/234) Overview course is designed to equip project managers, site supervisors, and line managers with the knowledge and understanding required to safely manage teams working near high-voltage (HV) infrastructure. This accredited training ensures managers can recognise impressed voltage (IV) hazards, implement risk control measures, and supervise safe systems of work in line with National Grid and industry safety standards.

Delegates will gain practical awareness of impressed voltage risks, understand their managerial responsibilities, and learn to proactively prevent incidents on projects involving HV cables, overhead lines, substations, and associated equipment. The course highlights best practices, protocols, and documentation necessary for compliance, giving managers confidence to oversee safe operations on-site.

This course is designed to provide guidance and best practice for those working on or in proximity to National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) assets, it references NGET procedures and industry practices to support understanding and application in the workplace. It is not an official NGET training course and is not endorsed by or delivered on behalf of NGET.
