If your work takes place near overhead power lines, this training is essential. The course is ideal for individuals and teams who need to understand the risks, responsibilities, and practical controls required to work safely around overhead electrical hazards.
Why GS6 Training Matters
Prevent contact. Control risk. Protect lives.
Prevent contact. Control risk. Protect lives.
Working near overhead power lines carries significant risk. Contact with live lines can result in serious injury, fatalities, equipment damage, site disruption, and legal consequences.
Protect your people
Overhead electrical hazards can be difficult to judge on site, especially when operating plant, lifting equipment, or long materials. Training helps teams recognise hazards and make safer decisions.
Improve planning and control
Safe work near overhead lines depends on effective planning. GS6 training helps teams understand exclusion zones, barriers, control measures, and safe systems of work.
Reduce operational risk
Poor awareness or weak controls can lead to serious incidents, delays, investigations, and reputational damage. Training helps reduce these risks before work begins.
Build confidence on site
When teams understand the hazards and controls, they can act with greater confidence and consistency in real-world conditions.
Support compliance
The course is built around HSE GS6 guidance, helping delegates understand the legal duties and industry standards that apply when working near overhead electrical services.
