The Basic Electrical Safety Competence (BESC) registration scheme is intended for all persons who work directly or indirectly on or near operational plant and equipment connected with electricity transmission and distribution. The scheme was originally known as "Resets" and was developed by a task force made up of the Electricity Association Management Co-ordinating Committee (Distribution and Transmission) with the assistance of the Electricity Company Training Managers and the Electrical Training Association.

BESC assessments are available in three areas of electrical transmission and distribution:
Substations
Overhead Lines
Underground Cables
The scheme standards are at a basic level and deal with safe entering, moving around and exiting work areas. They do not cover skills required for carrying out work tasks, although work task are required to be undertaken to allow observation of safe practice.
The BESC scheme requires that an assessor observe practical performance.
