An order appointing a person responsible for electrical equipment must be signed in those companies that are responsible for electrical equipment, including those with a capacity of over 10 kV. It doesn't matter how many units a company has at its disposal. If there is equipment and it is functioning, then a person is required to monitor the safety of its use. And appointment to this position is possible only through an order available for download.
FILES
If the equipment is simple and non-hazardous (a standard set of electrical appliances), then the manager appoints himself by order (even if he has not passed any electrical safety standards). If the electrical appliances are complex, then you need to obtain certain qualifications.
Electrical safety groups
The first, second and third electrical safety groups are purely nominal concepts. In total there are four such groups:
- Employees who are qualified for the first type of electrical safety, in principle, can use switched on electrical equipment without participating in its repair.
- The second type of electrical safety means that an employee can participate in the repair of electrical equipment that is disconnected from the network, but only standard ones.
- The third type of electrical safety, unlike the first two, cannot be awarded by the head of the organization. Such qualification means that an employee can perform any repair actions with electrical equipment with a power of up to 1000 V. Naturally, this person must have some kind of education that allows him to carry out such manipulations. He must also pass certification at a special training center.
- The fourth type of electrical safety. The employee has sufficient knowledge and skills to carry out repairs of electrical equipment with a power above 1000 V. He has been trained, certified, and has enough practical experience for this.
It is impossible to simply appoint any employee to this responsible position. As Section 1.2.7 of the Order of the Ministry of Energy No. 6 of January 13, 2003 states, this person must undergo training and knowledge testing for electrical safety, followed by assignment to a group (in this case, the third or fourth group is required).

If there is no full-time job
In cases where we are talking about a small organization that does not have the opportunity to hire a full-time specialist, they resort to attracting third-party qualified workers. Moreover, at the main place of work, the responsibility should be the same or exceed that assigned. That is, a specialist who has been certified in electrical safety group 4 and is currently (at his main job) responsible for equipment with a power of up to 1000 V cannot take a part-time job in a company whose equipment has a higher power.
Therefore, ideally, the combination should involve workers certified for the third group in electrical safety.
For your information! In large companies, you can hire one specialist for all departments. Naturally, if he is able to cope with the volume of work. The order is issued on behalf of the entire company, so there will be no violation in the service of all departments.
Who can be the responsible person
The person responsible for electrical equipment in an organization can be any specialist who has a certain level of knowledge and has been certified.
After passing the exams, a specialist receives category 4 or 5 in electrical safety.
Security groups allow you to distribute services by number of watts:
| Specialists who have category 4 | Monitor devices up to 1000 W |
| Specialist category 5 | For equipment with more power |
Large enterprises can only be served by persons of the fifth group:
- factories;
- preschool educational institution;
- hospitals;
- schools;
- production workshops.
In accordance with the rules for the operation of electrical installations, the specialist must have a deputy with group 4. Basically, these functions are assigned to mechanics or engineers.
If the organization does not have these specialists, workers of any specialization can be appointed, except for loaders and cleaners.
If a company consists of 10 - 15 people, and the area of the office or store is no more than a few tens of square meters and the energy consumption is less than 10 kW, then according to PTEEP it is allowed to appoint one person in charge.
If the company is larger in terms of the number of employees, space occupied and watts consumed, but it is not possible to allocate two employees, then one of them can be the head of the company. This option is very convenient for individual entrepreneurs.
Meaning
Based on practical experience, an order to appoint someone responsible for electrical safety becomes necessary only when control comes from Rostechnadzor or the fire service. It's unfortunate but true: entrepreneurs in our country care little about their own safety and the safety of their employees. But they don’t want to be subject to administrative liability in the form of a fine.
A specialist appointed as responsible for electrical safety will monitor the functionality of each reporting device. If there is a breakdown of electrical equipment or its failure, which can reduce the level of safety at the enterprise, then the person in charge must notify the manager. If he did not do this and a disaster occurred, then it is that employee who will be to blame for what happened.
Upon taking office, the person responsible for electrical safety signs the relevant documents assigning this responsibility to him. The order may also clearly state his responsibilities (unless there are other instructions on the method of operation to which reference can be made).
What is the document for?
The order should be presented to employees of the Fire Safety Service, Rostechnadzor and other authorities.
If there are no permanent electrical installations at the enterprise, the absence of an employee from this position may be permitted.
In this case, all his responsibilities will be assigned to the general director of the organization; this fact should be indicated in an official document that will need to be presented during inspections.
Situations when enterprises do not have stationary electrical equipment are extremely rare, since any office has a printer, copying equipment, and a refrigerator. Therefore, a simple and correct solution is to appoint a responsible employee by order.
If an emergency situation occurs at the enterprise, the presence of this document will determine the person at fault who caused the damage.
Components of an order
The header of the order is standard: details of the organization, name and number of the document, date, city. The main part contains information such as:
- Link to the document according to which the company requires such a position.
- Full name, position and electrical safety group of the appointed employee. If necessary, then with explanations - for equipment with power up to 1000 V or more.
- Full name, position and group of the replacement person. This point is mandatory as it is prescribed by law.
- What document establishes the boundary of the division of operational responsibility of electrical facilities. This is an optional point. It is used by fairly large organizations to separate specialists and assign them to different areas of work.
- What documents should the responsible person use when performing his duties? This paragraph of the order can be replaced by a direct listing of responsibilities. This will make it more specific. But it will increase the volume of the document. The latter will have to be printed on several sheets, and this is not always convenient for the clerk.
- Who is responsible for monitoring the performance of duties.
The conclusion of the order on the appointment of the person responsible for electrical facilities is a signature with a transcript of the head of the organization, and, if available, a seal.
As for the storage period, the document refers to orders for the main activity and is stored for at least 5 years from the date of signing, unless other orders have been received regarding it.
Unified order form
Any written order (order) of the employer does not have a unified version. He has the right to develop it independently, based on the basic norms of office work. The order must contain the following details:
- full name of the organization that issued the document (full name of an individual entrepreneur);
- document number in accordance with internal accounting;
- publication date;
- name of the locality where the organization or individual entrepreneur is located;
- a preamble reflecting references to regulations that are the basis for issuing an order;
- text where the manager orders employees to comply with the requirements of regulatory documents with the appointment of responsible persons and their replacements during absence from the workplace;
- manager's signature.
