HAZWOPER: Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout
The issue of hazardous waste poses a significant threat to human health, animal life, and environmental sustainability. Workers involved in the cleanup of hazardous waste sites are exposed to numerous safety and health risks. To safeguard these workers and ensure efficient waste management, OSHA has introduced the Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) Standard. Each year, electricity and unexpected release of hazardous energy result in numerous injuries and fatalities. Most of these unfortunate incidents can be prevented through proper safety protocols. It is crucial for individuals, especially those working in hazardous waste settings, to fully understand the dangers associated with electricity and hazardous energy. They should also be familiar with the safety measures that can protect them from these hazards. This HAZWOPER course aims to introduce learners to the fundamentals of electrical safety, help them identify and steer clear of electrical hazards, educate them about hazardous energy, and train them on the correct execution of lockout/tagout procedures. The ultimate goal of this course is to equip learners with skills to prevent incidents involving electricity and other forms of hazardous energy.
