WHAT DO YOU GET IN THIS BA5 COMPETENT TRAINING?

Working on electrical installations is not without risks!

BA5 EXAM

Working on electrical installations is in most cases accompanied by the necessary risks. It has repeatedly become clear that a basic training or the regular school education is not sufficient in practice. That is why the government introduced the ba5 legislation. The reason such official measures were taken can only be described as logical. A proper ba5 training is indeed essential. Practice on the sites proves this.

This is also the reason why the legislation provides for a specific ba5 electricity training so that you as an employee can assess the dangers associated with the work to be carried out yourself and protect yourself against them. The ba5 exam is also attached to this ba5 certificate.

BA5 TRAINING

Almost daily, major or minor occupational accidents involving electricity are recorded by the competent authorities. In most cases, these could have been avoided through a ba5 training. Employees who successfully complete a ba5 course obtain the ba5 certificate after passing the ba5 exam. In this way they can demonstrate their knowledge and skills in the workplace and thus contribute to the prevention of electrical accidents in the workplace.

This ba5 training is aimed specifically at participants with prior knowledge of the electrical trade or also at participants who have previously followed the BA4 instructed training.

BA5 CERTIFICATE/CERTIFICATION

Whoever passes this ba5 exam immediately becomes the holder of the certificate of the same name. With the ba5 certificate in hand, you can be sure that you work much more safely than you did before. In this way you help increase the safety of yourself and your colleagues in the workplace. Moreover, you certainly strengthen your position on the labour market.

With a certificate of competence BA5, you are allowed to carry out interventions on electrical installations yourself! Besides the fact that the ba5 certificate is mandatory, you can therefore also gain other advantages that will certainly be greatly appreciated by your employer or future employer.

Almost daily, major or minor occupational accidents involving electricity are recorded.

That is why the legislation provides for a specific training for those who work near electrical installations.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

The competence of persons characterized by the code BA4 or BA5 is granted to employees by the employer and set out in a document that clearly determines for which work and for which electrical installations the competence applies (RD 25-04-2004, art 3.2).
The employer ensures the necessary training of the employees and provides the necessary instructions to avoid the risks inherent in the use of, the operation of and the work on the electrical installation, taking into account the tasks assigned to these employees. (Codex book III, title 2)
