Course description

The training focuses on the practical application of electrical safety procedures:

  • LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) procedures: learning how to apply locks and caution notices / tags to disconnectors,
  • Voltage verification: rules for safely testing systems before commencing work,
  • Electrical risks: understanding the hazards posed by residual energy (e.g. in capacitors) and electric arcs,

They are fully prepared to apply appropriate lockout/tagout (LOTO) devices and effectively verify a zero-energy state. Furthermore, they can accurately recognize warning signs and faults within electrical safety systems, performing all assigned tasks in strict accordance with the Safe System of Work.
