Rules and requirements
Power tools are work equipment and must be inspected in accordance with the Danish Executive Order on the use of work equipment (in Danish) and the supplier’s instructions. If the supplier does not state an interval, the tools should be inspected at least once a year.
Inspection is an ongoing process: the tools must also be checked for visible faults before use. The result of the inspection must be documented.
How the course works
The course is online and can be taken on a computer, tablet or mobile whenever it suits you. It is divided into short chapters with questions along the way. You must pass each chapter before moving on, so you can be sure you have understood the key points. If you take a break, you carry on where you left off.
When you have passed all the chapters, you automatically receive a personal course certificate that you can download and print. The course is available in Danish and English.
Frequently asked questions
How often must power tools be inspected?
As often as the supplier states. If no interval is given, at least once a year – and the tools should always be checked for visible faults before use.
Do you have to be an electrician to inspect power tools?
No, not for the ordinary inspections according to the supplier’s instructions. You need the necessary knowledge – which is what the course gives you. Repairs must be carried out by a qualified professional.
How do we document the inspection?
For each tool, record when it was inspected, by whom and with what result. The course shows how an inspection report can be set up.
What happens if I don’t pass?
Then you simply try again. You can retake the questions in a chapter until you pass, and only then do you move on to the next chapter.
When will I get access to the course?
You will receive an email from VESCO Academy with your login – usually the same day and often within 1–2 hours. If you pay by invoice, participants get access once we have approved the order. You have access to the course for 12 months.
Can we buy the course for several employees?
Yes. Choose the number of licences and enter the participants at checkout, or upload a list. From 11 licences, the price drops automatically. Companies can also get a super-user account for VESCO Academy, so you can follow progress and download the certificates for all employees.
