Course Overview

Hazardous energy at workplaces can be of various forms, including mechanical, pneumatic, electrical, thermal, hydraulic, chemical and others. Workers who are vulnerable to such energy sources in the industrial environment involving machines and equipments must undergo this course. In workplaces some energy can be known and expected such as electricity or heat where as some can be hidden such as air pressure or high-tension spring. Industrial workers must have an understanding on control measures, nature of hazards, safety standards and procedures and utilization of safety apparatus to safeguard them from such expected and unexpected energy release which can even be fatal. This course addresses every possible risks and dangers associated with sudden energy outflow in industrial environments.

Who Must Take this Course?

Employees need to be trained on hazardous energy control procedures and also on the risk perceptions related to servicing, cleaning, setting-up, repairing and adjusting machinery, prime movers and heavy equipment. All other workers who are positioned in an area where energy control procedures may be required should be trained about the safety procedures while attempting to restart or re-energize machines or equipment which are tagged out or locked out.
