Electrification is fast becoming an integral part of propulsion and energy storage within the defence sector. It is essential that operators are trained and skilled to manage these risks, espeically when wokring with prototype equipment.
Avonside Inc provides a structured defence electrical safety training pathway covering everyone from personnel requiring general site access through to Authorized Persons responsible for electrical isolation, testing and maintenance, and managers responsible for electrical safety governance.
Training for those who work in and around HV systems for access and inspection activities.
Comprehensive training for technicians performing routine maintenance and de-energized work on HV systems.
Advanced training for personnel responsible for authorizing work and managing ES Safety Programmes
Advanced training for Energized (hot) working activities for Senior Technicians and Engineers on powertrains and battery systems.
Unlock the power of training for your team with bespoke training packages that fit within your organisation.
We specialise in creating tailored training packages with fast turnaround and industry-leading expertise.
Develop personnel's understanding of electrical hazards and relevant controls for defence propulsion, battery, and energy storage systems.
Match training to defence electrical work responsibilities, from access and inspection through isolation, maintenance, work authorization, and advanced battery and powertrain activities.
Develop understanding of safety programmes, permits, and defined responsibilities for authorizing and managing electrical work across defence electrification operations.
Match the course to your activities around defence propulsion and energy storage systems. Informed Person (Level 1) covers access and inspection, while Competent Person (Level 2) addresses routine maintenance and de-energized work. Authorized Person (Level 3) covers work authorization and safety programmes. Senior Authorized Person (Level 4) addresses advanced energized work on batteries and powertrains.
The pathway covers high-voltage system construction, electrical hazards, personal safety responsibilities, and emergency response. Technician-level training adds power-down and isolation techniques and selection of suitable PPE, tools, and equipment. Advanced courses cover diagnostics, fault-finding, safety programmes, permits, and the responsibilities associated with managing electrical work on defence electrification systems.
Avonside offers bespoke training packages for organisational requirements. For defence electrification, discuss the propulsion or energy storage equipment involved, prototype activities, intended electrical work, and personnel responsibilities with our team. These details help define a training programme relevant to your systems, operational context, and required competence levels.
Informed Person (Level 1) is online, self-guided training. Competent Person (Level 2) and Authorized Person (Level 3) offer online or in-person instruction with an expert trainer. Senior Authorized Person (Level 4) is delivered in person, with practical activities and assessment. Level 4 delivery is available across the US and overseas.
Levels 1, 2, and 3 include an end-of-course questionnaire. Authorized Person (Level 3) also includes practical assessment, ongoing support, and a Certificate of Competence. Senior Authorized Person (Level 4) includes practical activities, assessment, and a Certificate of Competence. Discuss the assessment requirements relevant to your defence electrical work before booking.
