eELECTRICAL SAFETY AT WORK (EVA) - Web Course (1/2 Day)

Electrical Safety at Work (EVA)

Electrical Safety at Work (EVA) gives you reliable, up-to-date and practical skills for electrical work in everyday situations. You will learn how to work safely, interpret regulations and choose the right working method – from risk assessment to operation and maintenance. The training is web-based and flexible, allowing you to study wherever you are. We also connect EVA with systematic work environment management(opens in new tab), so that your knowledge directly strengthens your procedures, roles and follow-up activities. Once you have completed the course, you will receive a course certificate and a clear path forward in your electrical safety work.

Electrical Safety at Work (EVA) – Online Training

The Electrical Safety at Work course is also known as EVA. Working with electricity always involves risks. That is why you need the right knowledge and procedures to prevent accidents and create a safe working environment. Our online Electrical Safety at Work training(opens in new tab) is approved by the Central Vocational Board of the Swedish Electrical Industry (ECY)(opens in new tab) and provides you – as a manager, supervisor, safety representative or skilled worker – with the tools you need to work safely. As a complement, you can also expand your knowledge with our other online electrical safety courses(opens in new tab) and instructor-led online sessions(opens in new tab).

About the Electrical Safety at Work (EVA) Course

The Electrical Safety at Work course replaces the previous Operation and Maintenance of Electrical Installations(opens in new tab) course. The aim is for you to understand and apply the applicable electrical safety regulations(opens in new tab) and carry out electrical work safely in the most common types of electrical installations. We also make a clear connection to the processes of SAM – systematic work environment management(opens in new tab), enabling you to integrate EVA into your procedures, risk assessments and action plans.

The course is fully digital and can be completed from any location. When you book the course, you receive access for 180 days and can decide when and how you want to work through the material. The training takes approximately four hours, and you finish with a course certificate that you can download immediately. If you need support with planning and follow-up, you can use our procedures, checklists and templates(opens in new tab).

Purpose of the Training

The purpose of the course is to give you both the knowledge and understanding needed to work safely in environments where electrical hazards(opens in new tab) are present. This includes:

• Establishing effective work procedures that can be followed in everyday work.
• Conducting risk assessments with a focus on practical choices and consequences.
• Selecting the correct working method for each situation.
• Understanding the installation owner's responsibility for operation and maintenance.

By completing the course, you reduce the risk of accidents(opens in new tab) and contribute to a safer workplace. For managers and supervisors, EVA also provides an important foundation for strengthening the safety culture(opens in new tab) and ensuring that procedures are actually followed.

Course Content – Electrical Safety at Work

The training is divided into clear sections and covers, among other things:

• Electrical hazards – understanding what can cause injuries.
• Accidents – common incidents and how they can be prevented.
• Swedish Electrical Safety Authority regulations – rules for work in professional environments.
• The installation owner's inspection responsibilities – requirements relating to operation and maintenance.
• SS-EN 50110-1 – operation of electrical installations.
• The Electrical Safety Supervisor's role – how supervisors are appointed and what their responsibilities are.
• Risk management – from planning to execution.
• Selection of working method – choosing the correct method for different types of electrical work.

All sections are linked to practical examples, allowing you to apply your knowledge directly in everyday work. You can also expand your skills with training for instructed persons(opens in new tab), refresher training for skilled persons(opens in new tab) and verification before commissioning(opens in new tab) if you want to build a complete competence pathway.

Target Group for Electrical Safety at Work

The course is aimed at several professional roles:

• Managers and supervisors who need to organise electrical work safely(opens in new tab) and follow up on results.
• Safety representatives(opens in new tab) who are responsible for monitoring compliance with regulations – also read about the safety representative's role(opens in new tab).
• Professionals working on electrical installations who need to be familiar with SS-EN 50110-1.

No previous qualifications are required, so the course is suitable for anyone. If you are responsible for teams with different language backgrounds, we also recommend our electrical safety training courses in English(opens in new tab).

Prerequisites

No specific prior knowledge is required. The training is designed for both experienced professionals and those who are new to the industry. If you would like to prepare further, you can read our overview of the Swedish Electrical Safety Authority(opens in new tab) and review the basics of BAM – Better Work Environment(opens in new tab).

Delivery and Location

The course is delivered entirely online. This means you can participate regardless of where you are, making the training both flexible and accessible. You can divide your studies into several sessions or complete the entire course in one go – the choice is yours. Would you like to combine online learning with instructor-led sessions?
