Have you been wondering whether you personally need SFS 6002 training? In this article, we briefly explain what the SFS 6002 training is and for whom it is intended.

What is SFS 6002 training?

SFS 6002 training is electrical safety training that introduces electrical professionals and others working with electrical devices to safe working practices. The training is based on the widely used Finnish standard SFS 6002, which defines the safety guidelines for performing electrical work.

The main goal of the training is to reduce the risk of electrical accidents and ensure that employees in the electrical sector have sufficient competence and understanding of electrical safety. By completing this training, you receive an Electrical Safety Card, which proves your qualification to work safely with electrical installations.

In what kinds of work is SFS 6002 training needed?

Many people do not realise that SFS 6002 training can be necessary also for others than “traditional” electrical professionals. Below are examples of roles where the training is recommended or even legally required:

1. Electrical professionals

Electricians, maintenance personnel and engineers need the training because they work directly with electrical equipment and installations. Typical tasks include:

New installations and repairs
Maintenance and servicing
Working de-energised or on live installations

2. Property sector employees

Property maintenance staff and technical personnel responsible for the upkeep and operation of electrical devices need electrical safety training if their duties involve tasks that include electrical hazards.

3. Construction and industrial workers

People working on construction sites or in industrial plants often come into contact with electrical installations or the electrical parts of machines. SFS 6002 training helps them identify and avoid risks.

4. Supervisors and foremen

Monitoring electrical safety is an essential part of site management and leadership in the electrical sector. For supervisors, the training provides the knowledge needed to ensure that employees follow electrical safety regulations.

What if you are not sure whether you need SFS 6002 training?

If your work involves handling, maintaining or operating electrical equipment, the training is necessary. Even if you are not working as a full-time electrical professional, SFS 6002 training can give you important knowledge that improves your safety.
