The tester must be safe before the circuit can be

Proving a circuit dead is the most important step in electrical work, and it depends on a meter that is right for the job and in good condition. The course is practical: participants check their own meters and leads and practise the safe testing sequence.

It fits naturally with electrical safety training and lockout tagout training.

Test & Measuring Instrument Safety FAQs

Quick answers to what companies ask us most. For anything else, ask us on WhatsApp.

Ask on WhatsApp

What does CAT III or CAT IV on a meter mean?

It is the measurement category: the higher the category, the higher the energy levels the meter is built to handle safely near the supply source.

Can participants bring their own meters?

Yes, and we recommend it, so they learn to check the instruments they actually use.

Who should attend?

Electricians, technicians, instrumentation staff and anyone who tests electrical circuits.

Do participants get a certificate?

Yes, a certificate of participation for every person.
