Safety Manual Electricity Industry (SM-EI) Assessments
The EEA and the Safety Standards and Procedures Group (SSPG) have developed quizzes designed to support understanding of the digital SM-EI and industry safety rules for employers and individuals.
How you will learn
The SM-EI quizzes are provided in two forms and can be either:
- accessed via the EEA’s Knowledge Network.
- provided as SCORM files for companies to upload into their own Learning Management Systems (LMS).
- The SM-EI quizzes are designed to be used by practitioners, planners and managers and are ideally suited for refresher training activities.
SM-EI assessments structure
The six SM-EI quizzes include:
SM-EI Safety Awareness (SA) for New Workers
SM-EI Safety Equipment (SE) for Trainees
SM-EI Safety Measures (SM) for Practitioners
SM-EI Safety Guidance (SG) for Field Leaders
SM-EI Safety Planning (SP) for Planners
SM-EI Safety Systems (SS) for Management
Individual Assessments
SM-EI Safety Awareness (SA) for New Workers
To test those who participate in prescribed health and safety activities before work and during work, and to meet legislative requirements. This includes familiarisation with safety procedures, contributing to risk assessments, and ensuring safe working practices for tasks assigned, maintaining hazard awareness during work, and responding to incidents.
SM-EI Safety Equipment (SE) for Trainees
To test those who are using equipment designed for personal protection and worksite protection. This includes wearing the prescribed PPE, setting up safe positions to work from, and leaving the worksite and all work-related equipment.
SM-EI Safety Measures (SM) for Practitioners
To test those who are using procedures prescribed for the establishment and maintenance of a safe working zone. This includes isolation, testing, and earthing techniques and other safety measures, and the safe use of tools for work on electricity assets (whether live or de-energised).
SM-EI Safety Guidance (SG) for Field Leaders
To test those who guide field workers through safety procedures and safe working practices and record all actions in accordance with legislative requirements. This includes the worksite safety plan, reporting and responding to incidents, and capturing new work requirements and opportunities to improve health and safety practice.
SM-EI Safety Planning (SP) for Planners
To test those who produce instructions required for field work to be carried out safely, extracting relevant information from the Health and Safety Management System, and providing it in a format that can be easily followed.
SM-EI Safety Systems (SS) for Management
To test those who provide and maintain a Health and Safety Management System, to meet the legislative requirements of being the person with the primary duty of care for health and safety at work.
