Energy Isolation, Lockout and Permit to Work

Most serious electrical injuries happen because equipment was not properly isolated before work began. This programme builds a disciplined approach to isolating hazardous energy, applying locks and tags, and controlling work through permits. Delegates leave able to plan and verify isolations that protect every person on the job.
