and Equipment Candidate Handbooks
Unit ELTK 01
Unit openers help to set the
scene and put candidates in
charge of their own learning.
Understanding
health and safety
legislation,
practices and
procedures
Learning outcomes offer
an at-a-glance outline
of what candidates will
be able to achieve after
completing the unit.
All employers, including the self-employed, have duties under the
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure the health and safety of
themselves and others is not affected by what they do. This includes
people working for employers and the self-employed (e.g. part-time
workers, trainees and subcontractors), those who use the workplace
and equipment they provide, those who visit their premises, and
people affected by their work (e.g. neighbours or the general public).
This unit will cover the following learning outcomes:
understand how relevant Health and Safety legislation applies in
the workplace
understand the procedures for dealing with health and safety in the
work environment
understand the procedures for establishing a safe working
environment
understand the requirements for identifying and dealing with
hazards in the work environment

key pieces of information,
helping candidates to ensure
they don’t forget the basics.
NVQ Level 3 Electrical installation
Remember
Common examples of PPE
include safety helmets, gloves,
eye protection, high visibility
clothing, safety footwear and
safety harnesses.
PPE is defined in the Regulations as ‘all equipment (including clothing
affording protection against the weather) which is intended to be for
work or held by a person at work and which protects them against one
or more risks to their health and safety’.
Hearing protection and respiratory protective equipment provided for
most work situations are not covered by these Regulations because other
regulations apply to them. However, these items need to be compatible
with other PPE provided.
The main aim of the PPE at Work Regulations 1992 is that personal
protective equipment is to be supplied and used at work wherever there
are risks to health and safety that cannot be adequately controlled in
other ways. The Regulations also require that PPE:
l
is properly assessed before use to ensure it is suitable
l
is maintained and stored properly
l
is provided with instructions on how to use it safely
is used correctly by employees.
An employer cannot ask for money from an employee for PPE, whether
it is returnable or not. Responsibilites are shown in Table 1.02.
l
Remember
There are other ways in which
a risk can be adequately
controlled, such as engineering
controls. PPE should be used as
a last resort in these situations.
Did you know?
More than one in four of all
reportable injuries are caused
by manual handling. These
accidents do not include
cumulative injuries, particularly
to the back, which can lead to
physical impediment or even
permanent disablement.
Employers
Employees
Must train employees and give
information on maintaining, cleaning
and replacing damaged PPE
Must use PPE provided by their employer,
in accordance with any training in the use
of the PPE concerned
Must provide storage for PPE
Must inform employer of any defects in
PPE
Must ensure that PPE is maintained in an
efficient state and in good repair
Must comply with safety rules
Must ensure that PPE is properly used
Must use safety equipment as directed
Table 1.04 PPE responsibilities of employers and employees
Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
As amended in 2002, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations
1992 seek to reduce the very large incidence of injury and ill-health
arising from the manual handling of loads at work.
The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 apply to the
transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force, involving
a wide range of manual handling activities, including lifting, lowering,
pushing, pulling or carrying. The load may be either inanimate - such as
a box or a trolley – or animate – a person or an animal.
The Regulations require employers to:
l
avoid the need for hazardous manual handling, so far as is reasonably
practicable;
Did you know? features provide useful
information for learners and help to
encourage whole-class discussion.

Key terms
Dermatitis – inflammation
of the skin normally caused
by contact with irritating
substances.
Hand protection
This involves the protection of two irreplaceable tools – your hands,
which you use for almost everything: working, playing, driving,
eating etc. Unfortunately hands are often injured. One of the most
common problems other than cutting, crushing or puncture wounds is
dermatitis.
Skin irritation may be indicated by sores, blisters, redness or dry,
cracked skin that is easily infected.
Key terms are highlighted and
explained so candidates can
quickly grasp the meaning of
what they are reading.
To protect your hands from irritating substances you need to:
l
keep them clean by regular washing using approved cleaners
l
wear appropriate personal protection when required
l
make good use of barrier creams where provided.
Photos and diagrams
are used throughout
to make learning more
interesting and engaging
for your candidates.

1.10 Gauntlet gloves
Head protection
Head protection is important because it guards your most vital organ –
your brain! Head injuries pose a serious threat to your brain and your
life. Head protection can help to prevent such injuries.
Here is a list of good safety practice:
l
Remember
A single injury can handicap a
person for life or even be fatal.
know the potential hazards of your job and what protective gear to
use
l
follow safe working procedures
l
take care of your protective headgear
l
notify your supervisor of unsafe conditions and equipment
l
get medical help promptly in the case of head injury.

Working Life features help
candidates to apply the
theory to practical situations
and know-how.
ELTK 01 Understanding health and safety
There are several types of protective headwear for use in different
situations; use them correctly and wear them whenever they are
required.
Safety helmets
Remember
An estimated 80% of industrial
head injuries are sustained by
people who are not wearing
any protective equipment.
Here are a few important rules:
l
adjust the fit of your safety helmet so it is comfortable
l
all straps should be snug but not too tight
l
don’t wear your helmet tilted or back to front
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
l
never carry anything inside the clearance space of a hard hat,
e.g. cigarettes, cards and letters
never wear an ordinary hat under a safety helmet
do not paint your safety helmet as this could interfere with
electrical protection or soften the shell
only use approved types of identification stickers on your
safety helmet, e.g. First Aider
do not use sticky tape or Dymo tape as the adhesive could
damage the helmet
handle the helmet with care: do not throw it or drop it etc.
regularly inspect and check the helmet for cracks, dents or
signs of wear, and if you find any, get your helmet replaced
check the strap for looseness or worn stitching and also check
your safety helmet is within its ‘use-by’ date.
Bump caps
Figure 1.11 Safety helmet
For less dangerous situations, where there is a risk of
bumping your head rather than things falling, or where
space is restricted, bump caps, which are lighter than safety
helmets, may be acceptable.
If you have to work outside in poor conditions, and a safety helmet is
not a requirement, consider using a Souwester and cape.
Safe working boxes help
candidates to apply best
practice and work in a safe
and responsible manner.
Working Life
Fazal is a first-year apprentice who is starting his first day on a construction site. The
electrician in charge gives Fazal a hard hat to wear. Fazal notices that the hat has a
crack down one side and reports this to his supervisor. The supervisor tells Fazal that
he must wear this hat because there are no more in the store and he needs to get on
with his work.
1.
What should Fazal do in this situation?
2.
If an object hit Fazal on the head and he was injured because of the crack in the
hat, who would be responsible for this injury?

and Equipment Training Resource Disk
ELTK 01
Understand Health and Safety legislation, practices and procedures
All worksheets come with
delivery advice to offer
useful support, especially
for newly-qualified trainers.
ELTK 01: Worksheet 1.02
Understand how relevant H&S legislation applies to the
workplace
Aim
To demonstrate an understanding of the various Laws that are applicable within the electrotechnical industry in various real life work scenarios.
Suggested delivery
Split the learners into three groups and brief each group with one of three scenarios. The
groups are to be given 10 minutes to discuss the risks in each scenario and identify the
relevant legislation that could apply with a justification for each. The groups are then given
20 minutes to prepare a presentation and 10 minutes to deliver to the rest of the group.
Alternative delivery
Split into groups as before but tutor facilitate the discussion and invite other groups to add
from their experience.
Equality and diversity
This is a very good opportunity to broaden the discussion and allow learner defined
scenarios or different places of work.
Suggested answers
1 Chemical plant, large fan installation – Likely to be working at height (WAH), around
chemicals (COSHH & HIAPFS), heavy lifting (MHO), equipment will be required for
installation and lifting the fan (PUWER), general management of H&S (HASAWA &
MOHASAW), many aspect of EAWR (i.e. earthing, connection of conductors, live/
dead working). Correct PPE will be required and training provided to protect against
chemicals in environment, or similar answers.
2 Old school refurbishment – Because everything is being refurbished there are
considerable risks from old materials including lights (and the disposal of them –
COSHH), asbestos (this is present in many old schools, mostly safe until disturbed –
COA), Construction (Design and Management) regulations will also be applicable.
Again, PPE, manual handling, EAWR etc. will all apply.
3 Halal meat factory – Working at heights (WAH), heavy lifting (MHO), chemicals due
to disposal of sodium lights (COSHH), equipment will be required (PUWER), general
management of H&S (HASAWA, MOHASAW), possible working in dimly lit areas or
confined spaces (EAWR). PPE will need to be appropriate. Any other justified answer
is acceptable.

You may use unit ELTK 01 and the internet for your resource (or any other material
made available to you by your tutor).
•
You are to present for 10 minutes to the rest of the group.
Group A
You are working at a major pharmaceutical chemical plant. Your task is to fit a large
ventilation fan into a ceiling void. The research laboratory you are working in has a high
ceiling with suspended ceiling tiles. Various dangerous and toxic chemicals are always
present as one of the main stores is at the end of the laboratory (although it is heavily
controlled and secure).
Group B
You are working as part of a large contractor team refurbishing an old school. Everything is
to be refurbished from the walls, ceilings and floors to all the utilities. You are responsible for
the complete rewiring of the school. Some of the outbuildings are of a pre-fabricated 1960’s
design and in a dangerous structural condition. You are unsure of the materials used in the
original construction.
Group C
You are working in the largest Halal meat processing factory in the UK. Your task is to
replace the three phase electrical motors on the refrigeration plant and part of the high-bay
sodium lighting in the loading bays. Temporary refrigeration has been arranged but you will
have to install this before the main installation can be started.
