What does instructed person mean?
An instructed person has received information and instructions from an electrically skilled person to help them avoid electrical risks in the specific work. Course knowledge does not replace the workplace risk assessment, access rules or task-specific instructions.
About Instructed Person in English
Instructed Person in English is a self-paced e-learning course for people who are not electrically skilled and carry out non-electrical work where electrical hazards may be present. You study in English at your own pace. The course corresponds to half a day, approximately four hours, and covers electrical hazards, risk management and safety communication.
The course content has been updated in line with the 2026 Electrical Safety Instructions. It provides a theoretical foundation that must be supplemented with instructions for the specific workplace and task.
Who is the course for?
The course is intended for construction and ground workers, painters, demolition workers, cleaners and property maintenance staff. Lawn mowing and similar activities may also involve electrical risks when carried out near electrical installations.
Managers, supervisors and safety representatives who need basic knowledge of electrical risks can also benefit. If you book training for colleagues, this course is an option for participants who need to study in English.
What you will learn
The aim is to help you recognise electrical risks, understand responsibilities, and understand how planning, instructions and communication support safer working practices.
Course content
- Electrical safety, electrical risks and common causes of electrical accidents.
- The difference between electrical risk sources and electrical hazards.
- Safety culture and the importance of following procedures and instructions.
- The responsibilities of the employer, the electrical installation owner and the instructed person.
- Roles under the Electrical Safety Instructions and electrical safety planning.
- Risk management through Risk-P and Risk-U, and safety communication.
- Working methods, vicinity zones and safety distances near electrical installations.
- The form “Instructions for Work Outside the Vicinity Zone”.
Prerequisites and language

How the e-learning course works
You complete the course online from a location of your choice and arrange your study time around your schedule. Allow approximately four hours. You have 180 days from booking to complete the training. You need a suitable device with internet access.
Course certificate and refresher training
After completing the course, you receive a course certificate that you can print. The current course information specifies refresher training every three years. Your employer also needs to assess whether changes to your tasks or risks require earlier additional training.
