Safety Isolation Kits are essential tools for ensuring safe electrical maintenance and troubleshooting.
These kits are designed to secure electrical circuits from being inadvertently energised, protecting
both workers and equipment. Kewtech, a prominent name in electrical testing and safety
equipment, offers a range of Safety Isolation Kits, including the KEWISO2, KEWISO3, and KEWISO5.
Birmingham Electricians, many who have trained at the WMD Electrical Training Centre in Great Barr
will re-iterate the importance of Safe Isolation.
Other reputable training colleges across Birmingham will also train apprentices and electricians in
the art of electrical self-isolation as part of a whole-hearted approach into keeping electricians safe
when working on site. Journals and communications from electrical governing bodies such as NIC-
EIC, NAPIT, ELECSA and City & Guilds, all place safety at the top their agenda. Self-Isolation kits are
certainly one of the most prominent pieces of equipment that keeps an installer safe, and you will be
constantly reminded of this when training to be an electrician. Once qualified, do not be surprised if
you receive reminders about self-isolation when keeping up to date with the latest wiring
regulations.
