What is it about?
The philosophy of safety at work is one of the bases for the operation of electrical installations, with particular relevance in the manoeuvres in electrical substations. The curriculum for Electrical Engineering students should include such knowledge. This article presents an educational tool currently in use, which has demonstrated its full effectiveness in achieving the implementation of safe working methods in the planning and execution of manoeuvres in electrical substations.

Why is it important?
Manoeuvres in electrical substations are fully involved through this philosophy. A good understanding by Electrical Engineering students on safe working methods, both for individuals and for facilities or service, allows these students to assimilate specific knowledge useful for their future working life and for a more general form of protection.
Perspectives
The educational tool presented here is specifically designed to achieve full knowledge of the working methods for manoeuvring in substations, based on an installation scheme that is simple and sufficient, and on a set of situations whose solution allows both the transmission of knowledge and the assessment of its assimilation. Therefore, knowledge on this topic must be incorporated into the curriculum of any student of Electrical Engineering.
