Electrical Safety
Electrical safety training — arc flash, lockout tagout, and beyond.
6 certificate-tracked courses covering arc flash hazards, lockout/tagout procedures, and electrical safety awareness. Canadian OHS compliant for electricians and non-electricians alike.
What we cover
Electrical safety and lockout/tagout are overlapping requirements.
Electrical safety training and lockout/tagout (LOTO) training address different aspects of the same hazard category. Electrical safety covers arc flash recognition, approach limits, and PPE. Lockout tagout covers the process of isolating hazardous energy before servicing equipment. Many workers need both.
Our electrical safety catalogue is focused and purposeful — every course in this category is relevant to workers who touch energised equipment or who operate near it. The full catalogue is displayed below so you can identify the right course for each worker role.
- Arc flash awareness — for anyone working near energised panels or switchgear
- Lockout/tagout — for authorised workers performing isolations AND affected workers in the area
- Electrical safety (CAN) — broad-coverage awareness suitable for any Canadian worker
- All courses produce documented, time-stamped certificates for your training records

Common mistakes
Six electrical safety mistakes Canadian employers make.
LOTO and arc flash are the highest-risk training gaps in most facilities. Most mistakes here are easy to fix once an employer sees the rule clearly.
The myth
“A breaker trip means it is safe to work on the circuit.”
The reality
A tripped breaker is not isolation. CSA Z462 requires verified de-energisation — lock out the disconnect, tag it, test for absence of voltage with a rated meter, and verify the meter on a known live source before and after. Until you have done all four steps, treat the circuit as live.
The myth
“Arc flash training is overkill for our shop.”
The reality
CSA Z462 requires arc flash hazard analysis and worker training wherever workers may be exposed to energised electrical equipment over 50 volts. That includes most industrial, manufacturing, and trades workplaces.
The myth
“Electricians don't need formal electrical safety training — they're certified.”
The reality
Trade certification covers installation and craft skill. Workplace electrical safety (CSA Z462 and OHS LOTO requirements) is a separate training requirement. Every audit checks for documented current electrical safety training.
The myth
“Our LOTO procedure has been the same for years — we don't need to retrain.”
The reality
LOTO training expires. Most provinces require retraining every 3 years, after any procedure change, or after an incident. Site-specific procedure training must also be documented for each piece of equipment.
The myth
“Online electrical safety training isn't accepted for OHS audits.”
The reality
Online courses satisfy the knowledge / theoretical training requirement. Site-specific procedure training (the practical component) is conducted by the employer. Both must be documented for the worker file.
The myth
“Office workers don't need any electrical safety awareness.”
The reality
Any worker who uses electrical equipment is covered by basic electrical safety obligations — extension cords, GFCI circuits, damaged cords, plugged-in maintenance work. General electrical safety awareness applies broadly.
