Basic Electrical Control Panel Fundamentals, Safety, Fault Finding & Maintenance
1 full-day workshop · Delivered in Rochester · Minimum 3 engineers
This structured one-day workshop is designed for site staff who need to understand how to access electrical control panels safely and carry out basic fuse replacement with confidence and care. It is ideal for operators, maintenance assistants and other site personnel who may be expected to work near or inside control panels as part of their role. The focus is on building practical awareness, safe habits and clear judgement, so that minor issues can be handled correctly without turning a manageable situation into a safety incident. Delivered at our workshop, the day combines guided learning, practical discussion and hands-on understanding in a controlled environment. A minimum of three people from each company is required for attendance.
During the workshop, attendees will learn:
-how to recognise electrical hazards and understand the risks of working around control panels
-the importance of correct PPE, insulated tools and safe approach procedures
-the basics of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and when isolation is required
-how to identify common control panel components, labels and warnings
-safe methods for opening panels and working inside them appropriately
-how to prove dead using a voltage tester before beginning work
-how to identify common fuse types, recognise a blown fuse and replace it safely
-the correct steps for safe re-energisation after fuse replacement
-how to spot signs of damage or deeper faults, and when to stop and escalate to a qualified electrician

Not every requirement fits a standard format. Hale Engineering can also design bespoke workshops around a wide range of industrial control and safety needs. This includes PLC fault-finding, SCADA and HMI operation, machine safety, LOTO procedures, control panel documentation, and sector-specific fault-finding programmes. If your team has more specific requirements or wider skills gaps to address, we can scope and price a workshop accordingly.
