The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe work procedures while performing work activities around electrical areas.
Lockout Tagout: Electrical Room
Annually, thousands of individuals in the US suffer injuries caused by electricity. At times, workers may come across equipment and circuits that are powered or pose a risk of being energized during their tasks. Without adequate precautions, an arc flash incident can occur.
An arc flash, also known as a flashover, is an electrical discharge or explosion arising from a connection through the air to the ground or another voltage phase within an electrical setup. For instance, this happens when a wire comes into contact with an earthed system. Working near or within electrical panels and systems heightens the risk of exposure to an arc flash, necessitating extreme safety measures.
Learning Objectives
The primary goal of this course is to teach workers safe work procedures while performing work activities around electrical areas. The user will learn:
