Every year, between 300 and 500 people in the U.S. are killed by electrocutions at work. Workers performing service or maintenance on machinery and equipment may be injured by the unexpected startup of the machinery or equipment, or release of stored electrical energy in the equipment. Failure to lock out machinery before working on it is a major cause of injury and death in the United States and is often one of the top 10 most-cited OSHA violations each year. This training will tell you more about electrical hazards, OSHA standards, safe practices when working with electricity and the lockout tagout program — including how it can save your life.
