Standard BA4 Training - instructed person: working safely around electricity BA4 Training

This BA4 training – instructed person – is a mandatory course to be allowed to perform limited electrical tasks in the workplace. Examples include: replacing a lamp, cleaning around electrical installations, etc.

In this BA4 training, participants learn to recognize and assess hazards and act appropriately. Large or small industrial accidents involving electricity occur almost daily.

Legislation therefore mandates specific training for anyone working near electrical installations.

Who is it for?

Employees such as maintenance staff, office managers, logistics employees, and others are eligible for this training. This training is also essential for supervisors of people who work on or near electrical installations. In short, anyone who needs a broader general understanding with extensive background knowledge, such as technical service staff who work on electrical installations, will benefit greatly from this training. No prior knowledge is required.

BA4 training instructed person: theory, awareness, and practical examples

RelyOn’s instructors are technical experts (engineers) with extensive practical experience in the industry. We tailor the training to the participants and their work environment. This ensures they receive customized BA4 training, packed with practical examples they can clearly visualize.

Did you know that we have been offering electrical safety training since 2015? And that not a single RelyOn participant has been involved in an electrical accident since then? This is precisely because our training courses do not only contain theoretical information, but primarily increase awareness and insight regarding the vital importance of safety around electricity.

What will you learn?

The following topics will be covered:

Part 1 – General Principles

  • Module 1: Purpose of the training
  • Module 2: Basic electricity
  • Module 3: Legal framework
  • Module 4: Responsibilities

Part 2 – Protective Measures

  • Module 5: Personal protective measures
  • Module 6: Risk factors related to electricity
  • Module 7: Personal protection
  • Module 8: Line protection
  • Module 9: Circuit breaker

Part 3 – Safe Working Practices

  • Module 10: LMRA & LOTO
  • Module 11: Working on de-energised installations
  • Module 12: Live working
  • Module 13: Safe commissioning and decommissioning of an installation

What are you capable of after this BA4 training?

During this BA4 training, we explain the operation of various safety devices, such as circuit breakers and residual current devices, in a simple manner.

This ensures your employees know when they are protected and when they are not. Knowing and recognizing potential risks in an electrical installation is one of the most important ways to prevent industrial accidents.

After this training, as a BA4 instructed person, you may:

  • perform all operations in an electrical cabinet in front of the protective cover (dead front)
  • replace a lamp in a non-domestic installation
  • perform physical work on an electrical installation as long as it is de-energized.

To be certain: entering a high-voltage cabin or high-voltage installation is not permitted for individuals with a BA4 certificate.

Exam and certificate

After completing this BA4 training from RelyOn, you will receive a BA4 Standard Instructed Person training certificate that is valid for 5 years.

Please note! You may only actually start working as a BA4 Instructed Person after your employer has issued a declaration of competence to you (based on your obtained training certificate).
