The content of this qualification has been designed to give the learners
the knowledge required to work safely around Electric/Hybrid vehicles that may
have or had damage to their high energy/electrical system, during emergency and
recovery situations. It contains one mandatory unit covering:
• the types of Electric/Hybrid vehicles available
• hazards associated
with motor vehicle high energy electrical systems
• working safely around
Electric/Hybrid vehicles including charging
• how to reduce the risk of
injury when encountering electric/hybrid vehicles
• how to safely transport
and store electric/hybrid vehicles
As a result, learners successfully completing this qualification will acquire
significant core knowledge and the ability to work safely around, but not
maintain Electric/Hybrid vehicles.
Note: This is a knowledge unit only and does not deem someone
competent to work on the high energy electrical systems of an electric/hybrid
vehicle.
