Automotive Electrical Safety Training – Course Description
The increase in electric and hybrid vehicles has introduced new technical and regulatory requirements to the industry. This training is designed for professionals to meet those requirements and improve safety in workshops. It is specifically designed for those involved in the servicing and repair of electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as electrically powered machinery.
The course content is based on the SFS 6002:2025 electrical work safety standard, which meets the requirements of Electrical Safety Act 1135/2016 for training on safety in electrical work in the automotive industry.
What will you learn in the online electrical safety course for vehicles?
The training begins with learning electrical hazards and understanding the risks. It covers the most common dangerous situations in auto repair environments and how to prevent them.
You will learn how to correctly use and maintain personal protective equipment (PPE) for repairing electrical vehicles, such as insulated gloves and face shields. In addition, the course teaches safe working practices, including:
- De-energizing electric vehicles
- Performing electrical measurements
- Safety precautions for working on live systems
Why this training is necessary?
Electrical safety legislation requires that anyone working with high-voltage systems in electric vehicles must receive training and qualifications. This applies to installation, maintenance, and repair work.
High voltages and electrical components introduce risks that differ significantly from those associated with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. The Automotive Electrical Safety Training provides the knowledge and skills needed to work safely and in compliance with legal requirements.
Who needs this training?
According to SFS 6002:2025, everyone whose work involves maintaining, repairing and dismantling electric and hybrid vehicles must receive training on safety in electrical work in the automotive industry.
The SFS 6002:2025 standard applies to all individuals involved in the servicing, repair, or dismantling of electric and hybrid vehicles. The training is also suitable for installers of electrically powered machinery.
Supervisors and managers also benefit from basic electrical safety training, even if they do not perform electrical work themselves. It is important for them to recognize risks and ensure that tasks are assigned to qualified persons.

FAQ about the Automotive Electrical Safety Training
As an employee, you cannot legally perform car electrical work without training. The reason is the hazardous nature of electrical work and the requirements set by legislation. The risk of accidents increases significantly if the person doing the work does not understand the dangers of electricity or use and maintain personal protective equipment.
The employer may face consequences for neglecting electrical safety. In less serious cases, the consequence may be a fine, but in cases of serious deficiencies, the operation of the workshop may even be suspended.
Yes, the requirement also applies to those involved in dismantling work, as they face the same risks associated with high-voltage systems.
The Automotive Electrical Safety Training focuses specifically on hazards and working methods related to servicing, repairing, and dismantling electric and hybrid vehicles as well as electric work machines.
