Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout - International

What is Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout – International?

Working safely with electrical equipment requires more than awareness, it demands knowledge of how electricity behaves and how hazardous energy can be controlled. The Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout course equips workers with practical skills to identify electrical risks, understand safe work practices, and implement LOTO procedures to prevent accidental energization. By learning how to properly apply locks and tags, recognize hazardous energy, and follow established energy control programs, employees can protect themselves and their coworkers from potentially serious or fatal injuries while performing service or maintenance tasks.

Course Overview

The Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout course provides workers with essential knowledge to recognize electrical hazards and control the unexpected release of hazardous energy. Employees who perform service or maintenance on machinery face serious risks if equipment starts up unexpectedly or if stored electrical energy is released. Failure to properly lock out machinery is one of the leading causes of workplace injury and death—yet these incidents are preventable with an effective energy control program.

This course explains how electricity works, how electrical hazards develop, and the safe practices needed to protect workers. It also introduces the fundamentals of lockout/tagout (LOTO), including when it should be used, who is authorized to perform LOTO, and how locks and tags must be applied and removed. Ideal learners include any employee who works with or around electrical machinery in an international setting.

TOPIC OVERVIEW

Working safely with electricity requires more than basic awareness—it requires an understanding of how hazardous energy behaves and how to control it. Lockout/tagout programs are designed to prevent accidental energization and protect workers who service or maintain equipment. This course strengthens workplace safety by helping employees understand electricity, identify risks, and follow established LOTO procedures.
