Introduction to GWO High Voltage Cable Pulling

This training focuses on the effective performance of high voltage cable pulling operations, under a

documented safe system of work.

The goal is to motivate the individual participant to have awareness of basic HV cable theory and perform inspection of breakout & cable, conduct safe working during HV cable pulling operations, preparation of HV cable and tools & handling the HV cable and conducting and complete the cable pulling operation in a safe manner for the persons and equipment involved.

Essential Information

Prerequisites

Participants attending this training must possess underpinning knowledge, skills, abilities in mechanical work and have an awareness of safe lifting operations to support succeeding in this training. They must have completed training equivalent to GWO BTT Mechanical. Note Although not required as prerequisites for attending this training, workers leading HV cable pulling operations in the workplace may require in addition to this module, training equivalent to the GWO Slinger Signaller standard and / or the GWO Crane and Hoist standard. Any such requirements should be determined by the employer, based on the designated duties within the HV cable pulling team.

Assessment

Participants knowledge, skills and abilities should be assessed by means of direct observation and verbal questioning during practical scenario-based exercises. The instructor should use this as a method of formative evaluation to support participants in reaching the module objectives.
