Electrical Safety and Lockout Tagout Procedures

Electrical incidents on industrial and commercial sites are frequently the result of an isolation step skipped under time pressure rather than a lack of policy. This course builds practical competence in arc flash awareness, isolation and lockout tagout sequencing, permit to work controls and safe work practices around low and medium voltage equipment on plant and site electrical systems.
