In October 2016, new rules on electrical safety come into force, or rather, changes in Order 325n.

No sooner had the new rules on electrical safety come into force (what is 2 years), as others come out that radically change the concept.
I don’t know how they will help in the safety of work, but the bureaucratic foundations have been shaken.
You can download Order No. 74n dated February 19, 2016 on changes to the new electrical safety rules 2016.
By and large, in the Order, some designations have been replaced with others (I’ll never know how this will affect security), although a very significant change in my opinion is appearance electrical safety certificates have changed radically.

You can download the new electrical safety rules with changes from 10/19/2016

Electrical safety certificate of a new sample

The appearance of the certificate remained unchanged. Vinyl Coated Cardboard Base The color of the vinyl is irrelevant, but cherry is preferred. The size is also 95x65 mm.
On the front side, the word "Certificate" is embossed in gold or white paint.
But the content has changed a lot.

Below I have given two examples of certificates issued by educational institutions with which we cooperate. Both have minor differences, but they completely correspond to the established model (Appendix 2 to Order 74n).

I Option:

Certificate number (usually this is a serial number in the electrical safety knowledge check log);
Name structural unit(if any);
Date of issue of the certificate;
Photo and place of seal of the organization for which electrical safety was issued (energy consuming companies do not need Appendix 2, clause 10)

2 page:
Full name of the owner of the "crust";
Position held;
Assigned personnel (operational, maintenance, etc.)
Employer's (or responsible person's) signature
Seal of the organization for which the permit was issued.

3 page contains the results of the knowledge test (assigned group, date of the test, signature of the inspector, etc.)

4, 5 and 6 pages- needed only for energy companies(we will not consider).

7 page- Prom safety and other standards.

8 page- Access to special work.

II Option:

And this is how they are approximately filled (taken from another site):

Those who are looking for where to download the new 2016 electrical safety certificate form can do this (for those who do not want to buy forms, but want to print and assemble them themselves).

Let me answer two basic questions:
1. For energy-consuming companies, it is not necessary to paste a photo (Appendix 2, clause 10);
2. The employees kindly answered my request to Supervision "Do I need to recertify with the release of new rules" (the request was in June, they answered in October 2 weeks before the entry), the screen was posted below:

In my opinion, the answer was strangely veiled, but as far as I understood, the most important thing is that you don’t need to urgently run and change your certificate, unless at the request of the head, and then only after October 19th.

And here is what the supervisory representative answered on the issue of issuing electrical safety certificates according to the new rules (3-minute video, the quality is not important, the sound is ahead of the video, but the meaning is clear).
It is especially recommended to pay attention to the last 30 seconds.

Here is what supervisors answered the question "Who urgently needs to undergo an extraordinary knowledge test"

(Taken from the Rossnadzor website)

Well, now about the changes themselves (personal opinion of the author).

1. To begin with, clause 1.1 has undergone a change

9. Clause 4.17 appeared with the following content:
4.17. On overhead lines and overhead lines, before connecting or breaking electrically connected sections (wires, cables), it is necessary to equalize the potentials of these sections. The potential equalization of the sections of VL, BLS is carried out by connecting these sections with a conductor or by installing groundings on both sides of the gap (probable gap) with connection to one grounding conductor (grounding device).
In my opinion, this is a really important point.

Forum of Occupational Safety Engineers of Belarus

Electricity, as the most convenient form of energy, has found the widest application both in everyday life and in production.

Thus, the use of electricity in production makes it possible to carry out comprehensive mechanization and automation of production processes, improve working conditions, increase its productivity, provide high quality products. However, careless handling electric shock poses a particular danger to human life.

Below on the page is a sample of the order form "Training for 4 (IV) electrical safety group", valid in 2020.

Grounds for the formation of the order:
"Electrical safety training"

For enterprises not related to the energy sector and not having electrical and electrotechnical personnel, it is necessary to have at least one employee with electrical safety group 4 (IV).

There are two reasons for this:

1. In accordance with clause 1.2.7 of the PTEEP, the appointment of a person responsible for the electrical economy and his deputy is carried out after checking the knowledge and assigning the appropriate electrical safety group. For electrical installations up to 1000 V - 4 (IV) electrical safety group, for electrical installations over 1000 V - 5 (V) group. Therefore, even if you have electrical installations up to 1000 V, the minimum electrical safety group for an employee who is supposed to be appointed responsible for electrical equipment is 4 (IV). If your installed power is up to 10 kVA, then, in accordance with clause 1.2.3. PTEEP, the deputy responsible for electrical facilities can not be appointed. But if there are more, you will have to train two.
2. To conduct electrical safety briefings for non-electrotechnical personnel, an employee with a safety group of at least 3 (III) is required.

If the briefing is carried out by the person responsible for the electrical economy, then you will need only one specialist with group 4 (IV) in electrical safety (provided that your installed power is less than 10 kVA).

Testing the knowledge and training of an employee for the 4 (IV) security group for enterprises that do not have electrical and electrotechnical personnel in their composition can be carried out in specialized training centers. Upon completion of training, a certificate and protocol of knowledge testing are issued, signed by members of the commission of the educational institution, which must include a representative of the state energy supervision.

Knowledge testing is carried out with a frequency of 1 time in 3 years.

In accordance with clause 1.2.3 of the PTEEP, the person responsible for the electrical economy and his deputy are appointed from among the managers and specialists of the enterprise. This should be taken into account when sending employees to study.

For enterprises with an energy service, to conduct a knowledge test of the electrical and electrical engineering personnel of the enterprise, the head appoints a commission consisting of at least five people.

The chairman of the commission must have a group on electrical safety 5 (V) - electrical installations with voltage up to and above 1000 V, group 4 (IV) - electrical installations up to 1000 V. (clause 1.4.30. PTEEP).

Testing the knowledge of those responsible for the electrical economy, their deputies, as well as labor protection specialists whose duties include monitoring electrical installations, is carried out in the commission of the state energy supervision bodies (clause 1.4.28. PTEEP).

Legislation Russian Federation in the field labor relations sufficient attention is paid to the safety of personnel involved in manufacturing process. Among all potentially dangerous areas of work that pose a threat to human health and / or life, work with electric current and voltage is highlighted. And that means the electrical safety of the worker. In order to maximally exclude damage from electrical devices and elements, the relevant tolerance classes have been introduced into the legislation. The protocol for testing knowledge on electrical safety, a sample of which is given in this article, also reflects the degree of admission of the employee.

Electrical safety levels

AT recent times the main method for ensuring safety when performing work on electrical equipment is the attachment of certain degrees of tolerance to workers.

On July 24, 2013, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation issued Order No. 328n, which approved 5 tolerance levels for electrical safety purposes (see table below).

Checking knowledge of electrical safety provisions

In paragraph 2.5. The rules for labor protection when working on electrical installations (put into use by order of the Ministry of Labor No. 328n dated July 24, 2013) provide for the execution of an examination of employees' knowledge of electrical safety with the appropriate protocol.

The Ministry of Labor, to its order No. 328n of July 24, 2013, issued Appendix No. 4. It contains the officially accepted form of the form, what the electrical safety knowledge test protocol looks like:

And Appendices No. 5 and 6 reflect the need to fill out a special journal, which contains all the protocols drawn up for checking the knowledge of personnel and the necessary electrical safety rules when working on the relevant equipment:

Oddly enough, the Ministry of Labor of Russia itself did not determine any requirements for the procedure and methodology for filling out the protocol in question. Therefore, when filling out the form, the person concerned should consider the following principles:

• the document is prepared only on paper;
• the form can be filled out both by the hand of the inspector and by typewriting;
• all lines of the document must be filled in (except for the cases that are listed in separate footnotes to the protocol);
• each member of the commission that checks the knowledge of an employee must confirm with his signature the level of competence of the person being tested;
• if there is an employee of the service in the examination committee state control, then he also puts his signature in the form of the protocol;
• at the end of all fillings, the verified employee puts his signature.

Mandatory Document

As a result, it should be noted that the rules on labor protection and electrical safety oblige to conduct appropriate checks of employees and fill out a protocol for testing knowledge on electrical safety. The template has been officially approved. It is filled by a commission for each specialist of the enterprise. The commission is created by order of the head.

Greetings, dear friends! I've wanted to do it for a long time correct pattern of the protocol for testing knowledge of labor protection requirements (it is also the protocol of the meeting of the commission for testing knowledge of labor protection requirements of workers), but all “hands did not reach”. It seems to be a trifle, a protocol and a protocol, but when you work with uncomfortable forms, you immediately understand that such trifles mean a lot in your work.

What does the correct protocol for testing knowledge of labor protection requirements look like?

The "CORRECT" protocol in my understanding looks like this:

1. The form of the protocol complies with the current Procedure for training in labor protection and testing knowledge of labor protection requirements for employees of organizations, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation dated January 13, 2003 No. 1/29.

2. The form of the protocol for testing knowledge of labor protection requirements is made in such a way that when entering data, nothing “leaves” or “moves out” anywhere.

I tried to download a high-quality protocol for testing knowledge of labor protection requirements on the Internet, so I ran into the same problem - if the sample is suitable for work “here and now”, then only for written filling or radical editing, which is completely inconvenient.

In general, I took the time and made the very normal protocol for testing knowledge on labor protection, which is easy and convenient to fill out.

PROTOCOL OF VERIFICATION OF KNOWLEDGE OF LABOR PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

Document note. In Appendix No. 1 to the Procedure for training in labor protection and testing knowledge of the labor protection requirements of employees of organizations, in the form of a protocol there are also fields for representatives of authorities executive power subjects of the Russian Federation, bodies local government and state inspection labor of the subject of the Russian Federation. If one of them participates in testing knowledge on labor protection, then the appropriate fields must be added to the protocol.

Such is the protocol of the meeting of the commission to test the knowledge of the labor protection requirements of workers No. 1 in Runet! :)

That's all for me. Hope it comes in handy!
