EV Training - EV WV | Work Supervisor (NEN 9140)

Information

Electric vehicles have become an integral part of the modern workshop. Working on EVs introduces new risks, such as high-voltage systems, residual voltage, and battery damage. For this reason, an EV Work Supervisor (EV-WV) is indispensable for garages and collision repair shops that wish to work on electric vehicles safely and professionally.

What does an EV Work Supervisor do?

The EV Work Supervisor is responsible for ensuring safe operations when working on or near high-voltage systems. They assess risks, establish safety measures, and make critical decisions in complex or potentially unsafe situations, such as:

Damaged vehicles with potential battery impairment

Vehicles that cannot be de-energized

Uncertainty regarding the safety status of a high-voltage system

Operations involving multiple technical disciplines simultaneously

Without a properly trained EV Work Supervisor, unacceptable safety risks arise for both employees and the business.

Especially critical for collision repair shops

In the context of collision repair, the level of risk is heightened. Batteries may sustain damage that is not immediately visible, and "thermal runaway" remains a genuine danger. The EV Work Supervisor determines whether a vehicle is safe to work on, whether additional safety measures are required, or if the vehicle must be isolated and stored separately.

EV Work Supervision and E-Certification

The EV Work Supervisor is a mandatory and crucial component of E-certification. Businesses must demonstrate that they have:

Qualified EV Work Supervisors

Clearly defined procedures and responsibilities

Documented knowledge and professional competence

Investing in an EV Work Supervisor means investing in safety, quality, and operational continuity. EV Work Supervisor Training at GMTO
