Electrical Lockout LOTO
Master electrical LOTO procedures, isolate electrical energy safely, and prevent accidental re-energisation.
Lockout Tagout (LOTO) is the vital procedure that protects lives when machinery and electrical systems are serviced or maintained. It ensures equipment is completely isolated from its energy source and locked off until work is safe and complete. Designed for maintenance engineers, electricians, and facilities teams, this CPD-accredited online course guides you through identifying energy sources, locking off, tagging out, verifying isolation, and safely restoring power.

More details about this course
Lockout tagout, often shortened to LOTO, is the procedure that keeps people alive when machinery and electrical systems are being worked on. It ensures that equipment is properly isolated from its energy source, and cannot be switched back on, until the work is complete and everyone is clear. This course takes you through the full lockout tagout process: identifying energy sources, isolating and locking off equipment, applying tags, verifying isolation, and safely restoring power when the job is done. You will also learn the roles and responsibilities involved, and the common failures that lead to serious accidents. Essential for maintenance engineers, electricians, facilities teams and anyone who works on or around powered equipment.
