Lockout/Tagout & Basic Arc Flash

Electricity is an essential element of the workplace. It provides light, heat, motive power, and communications, but it is 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 interactive online course explains the dangers of an arc flash and how to protect against an arc flash, as well as the basic principles of a lockout tagout program.
