EUP Refresher: Safety when working on or near electrical installations - in accordance with § 12 ArbSchG, DIN VDE 1000-10 and DGUV Regulation 1

Annual Training: Electrically Instructed Persons (EUP) - Maintaining Competence

For your German-speaking employees, we offer the Annual Training: Electrically Instructed Persons (EUP) - Maintaining Competence course in German.

The Electrically Instructed Person (EUP) course qualifies individuals who are not trained electricians but are present in electrical operating facilities and/or required to work on or near electrical installations under the responsibility and supervision of a qualified electrician (EFK).

Fundamentals – Measurement Practices – Hazards – Regulations

The annual safety and health instruction is mandatory for all employees, including EUPs, in accordance with the ArbSchG and DGUV Regulation 1. This annual training serves to refresh and maintain the required technical competence and helps prevent electrical accidents. In daily practice, electrically instructed persons or skilled workers from non-electrical professions increasingly perform tasks on electrical installations and equipment. However, this is legally permitted only under specific conditions. Working with electrical current, including risks such as electric shock or arc flash effects, poses significant hazards and should not be underestimated.

This annual training provides you, as an electrically instructed person (EUP), with the necessary expertise, raises awareness of potential hazards, and alerts you to changing work situations. Additionally, updates and innovations in accident prevention regulations and relevant standards are explained to ensure you remain legally compliant.
