Do non-operators need a permit to enter the high-specification room?
Thread Content
I have two questions regarding the management of high-end rooms. 1. Can non-qualified personnel enter the high-specification room accompanied by a certified person? For example, safety officers conducting safety inspections and such. 2. Can a person with a low-voltage electrical technician certificate operate the distribution cabinets on the low-voltage side of the high-voltage switchgear room? Or does it mean that for any distribution cabinet in a high-end facility, regardless of whether it operates at high voltage or not, a high-voltage electrician’s license is required to operate it? Are there any relevant laws and regulations that provide clear guidelines regarding the issues mentioned above? Thank you!
The training program is simply not rigorous enough; at the very least, certification should be required before one can start working!
The instructions and scope of application are specified in the documents related to this issue; it is mandatory to work with a valid certificate, and a special work permit is also required. I’m not sure whether such permits are still in use nowadays. There are many types of electricians, such as operation electricians and maintenance electricians, and so on.
Indeed, as Senior Shirai said, there are some tasks that I myself could carry out, but I still have professionals go to the site to handle them. If I do it, it counts as an illegal operation. Professionals possess the necessary qualifications, and we can provide relevant advice to handle issues in a better and more effective manner.
Strictly require certification for working, and ensure that tasks are carried out within the scope of practice

In special and hazardous places like high-voltage switchgear rooms, it is common consensus that only professionals from the relevant organization are allowed to enter. 2. In special circumstances, such as inspections or visits, it is permissible to enter for a short period of time under the premise of prior education and warning, and under the guidance of professional personnel from the organization (without any need to touch anything). In extremely urgent situations (such as accidents or emergency rescue), non-professionals (those who have received basic training in electrical safety*) can also enter. 3. In high-voltage distribution rooms, only electricians with the appropriate qualifications for working with high voltages are allowed to enter and carry out tasks there. As for certain low-voltage tasks within high-voltage distribution rooms, high-voltage electricians are capable of and qualified to perform them, so their actions are not considered illegal. 4. It is theoretically illegal for low-voltage electricians to work inside high-voltage facilities, and assigning such workers to perform tasks typically done by high-voltage electricians is itself a criminal offense. Setting aside professionalism, things like psychological resilience and the level of caution in behavior are not on the same level; they cannot be developed in an instant or over a short period of time. In short, regardless of the position, specialty, or standards within a company, the ultimate goal is to serve production and operations and translate that into tangible benefits. Therefore, as long as everything is guided by this fundamental principle, in dealing with specific matters one should neither apply rules mechanically nor be overly flexible to the point of ignoring them. To ensure that things are reasonable, logical, and in compliance with regulations, how to determine the right balance depends on an individual’s ability to handle matters.
