As the automotive industry continuously transitions to electric vehicles, workplace safety and health risks are shifting.
Here at EDAG, our automotive industry knowledge and high regard for implementing and following safety standards have culminated to create training courses for all possible levels required for the high voltage systems integrated into vehicles.
Our high voltage safety training offers a comprehensive and unparalleled learning experience by incorporating hands-on demonstrations and practical scenarios that are not offered elsewhere. We provide participants with a training environment that is vital to allowing them to apply their new knowledge and gain confidence in handling high voltage equipment under real-world conditions.
EDAG offers High Voltage Safety Training courses ranging from 0E (HV Sensitized Person) to 3E (HV Qualified Person - Working Under Live Conditions). EDAG's high voltage safety training program offers an on-site in-person hands-on practical on a real HV system within a vehicle at the customer’s location for both 2E and 3E training levels; this portion is not offered anywhere else.
With EDAG’s DGUV, OSHA, and NFPA 70E compliant high voltage training, your organization will gain the necessary expertise and confidence to be properly aware of and handle high voltage equipment safely and effectively, reducing potential hazards and protecting valuable assets. These unique factors make EDAG's High Voltage Safety Training courses the ideal option to train employees with.
EDAG's HVST goes beyond basic safety protocols and delves into:
All Training Levels:
risks and risk assessment
specific procedures and methods
becoming familiarized with HV concepts
Only Training Levels 2E and 3E:
electrical physics and theories
dry run practices (voltage measurement of critical components of the HV system)
becoming familiarized with HV components (ex. service disconnect, switches, connectors, etc.)
decommissioning/commissioning an electric vehicle (EV)
These advanced skills are essential for individuals who work with high voltage systems and vehicles, ensuring proper safety procedures and a safe work environment.
A brief high-level description of each high voltage training level that we offer is provided below.
