Lockout/Tagout & Basic Arc Flash

Electricity is an essential element of the workplace. It provides light, heat, motive power, and communications. It’s also dangerous. The need to continually maintain, repair and upgrade electrical equipment means that employees will sometimes be in close vicinity to electricity and, therefore, exposed to some risk. This course explains the dangers of an arc flash, how to protect against an arc flash, and the basic principles of a lockout tagout program.
