Guidelines and procedures for Å Energi Vannkraft

Most of the installations where ÅEVK is responsible for operations and maintenance contain low- or highvoltage electrical installations. Consequently, in order to access our installations you need expertise and knowledge about safety with respect to electrical installations.

ÅEVK uses a system based on safety cards (for electrical installations) to document access permission and other approvals/authorisations related to electrical installations.

The details are described in the instructions for Access to power stations and electrical installations.

Orders for safety cards are made through Permitto, which is a system for digital security cards and access sertificates.

Note: The application must be completed on a PC. It is not possible to complete the application using a mobile phone.

Before applying for a safety card, you must complete the following courses:

• FSE course (low and high voltage with first aid) (for example, from Trainor). Remember to select the sector “E-verk”
  or
• Access to electrical installations (for example, from Trainor)
  and
• HSE course for Å Energi Vannkraft (Trainor): Å Energi Vannkraft - HSE
• First aid course with practical CPR, preferably including the use of a defibrillator

You must have completed a first aid course focused on electrical injuries, either through a practical first aid course or through an FSE course that includes first aid.
The courses must be documented.

In addition, you must have a valid HSE card for Construction and Civil Engineering before undertaking assignments for Å Energi Vannkraft.

When carrying out traditional construction work at or near dam installations, work shall be performed in accordance with instructions/procedures/work descriptions/laws and regulations that are typical for these kinds of activities.

Å Energi Vannkraft places great emphasis on implementing and supervising health and safety activities, and it therefore sets some fundamental requirements of everyone working on these kinds of assignments.

• Å Energi Vannkraft requires it to be less than 12 months since training was completed throughout the duration of the assignment.

Before work on site starts, confirmation of the following training shall be sent to Å Energi Vannkraft:

• Å Energi Vannkraft - HSE (Trainor)
• First aid course (basic) with practical CPR (must be documented)

ÅEVK Operations Manager’s instructions for everyone wanting access: Access to power stations and electrical installations

Workers who will be performing electrical work must in addition be familiar with the ÅEVK Operation Manager’s instructions for carrying out electrical work:

Organisation of areas or responsibility and authority for electrical installations

Instructions for the switching supervisor

Safety supervisor

Work on low-voltage installations and designation of AFA

Live-line work on low-voltage installations

Instructions for work at height

Work in confined spaces/conductive environments with restricted movement

Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) / workwear at ÅEVK

Instructions for hot work

In order to ensure that all workers who will have access to, and perform work at, our installations receive the same high-quality training, Å Energi Vannkraft has developed its own online courses.
