About the course
What this course covers.
Unlike On-Track's other lockout/tagout courses, this one starts with electricity itself: how it works, the difference between conductors and insulators, and how electric shock actually occurs.
It moves into electrical hazards, grounding and current, and safe practices for working with and around electricity, before covering the three elements of an energy control program and the steps for attaching and removing locks and tags.
It closes with the operational side of a program: periodic inspections of lockout/tagout procedures, personnel and communication, and training recommendations.
