Training Program HEBS - Initial course level
Electrical Authorisation BS low voltage - Certifying
This course aims to authorise personnel to carry out basic electrical work or operations near electrical installations, in compliance with the French standard NFC 18-510. The training enables participants to safely perform simple electrical tasks, such as the like-for-like replacement of a light bulb or fluorescent tube in an environment with electrical risks.
Target audience:
This course is intended for workers performing basic low-voltage (LV) interventions or operations, such as technical staff, general maintenance personnel, and facility operators.
