This course provides professionals with an essential understanding of electrical safety and habilitation requirements under the French NF C 18-510 standard. The course begins with the foundational principles of electrical risk and the evolution of electrical safety regulations in France. Participants will learn why NF C 18-510 exists, what it aims to prevent, and how to properly interpret key safety language under the standard.
As the course progresses, participants will dive into legal and regulatory responsibilities, with a focus on the employer’s obligations and the consequences of non-compliance. The course also includes critical hazard awareness and risk assessment, where learners will understand how electricity behaves, its impact on the human body, and how to identify potential hazards in different electrical environments.
A key component of the course is the electrical habilitation system, where learners will understand the meaning of habilitation symbols, roles, and responsibilities. The course also covers electrical risk prevention, including the hierarchy of controls, safety processes like consignment and deconsignment, and the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Finally, the course addresses emerging electrical safety challenges, including photovoltaic installations, electric vehicle charging, and energy storage systems. The course concludes with preparation for the mandatory in-person practical evaluation, which is necessary to obtain electrical habilitation under NF C 18-510.
