Hazardous Energy Control - Pittsburgh

Engineers, technicians, electricians and managers of employees who are responsible for LOTO and creating and maintaining an electrically safe work environment while performing their daily tasks.

The objective of this safety program is to enable the worker to better understand and define the work location to isolate and mitigate the hazards that exist in their work location.

This course teaches engineers and technicians how to recognize and mitigate hazards in the work environment along with methods of controlling additional hazards previously overlooked. The class will contain demonstrations and limitations of metering devices and the how/why they should be used.

• Controlling hazards within your defined work zone
• Provide a systematic approach to develop and implement and adapt LOTO plans
• Equipment used to detect the presence and absence of voltage in low/medium voltage environments
• Selection and placement of grounding equipment in a system according to work zone hazards
• Learning methods of hazard mitigation using conventional and unconventional LOTO
• A comprehensive review of LOTO techniques and equipment available to properly implement

Gaining Access:

Upon arriving at our training centers, follow signage and any other directions you may have received before arriving for your event. Our staff will greet you upon arrival and take you to the appropriate training area. You will be asked to sign in for all events so that we can track building occupants in case of an emergency situation.

What to Wear:

Due to the nature of our training facilities and other events taking place, we ask that you wear business casual (or appropriate PPE if your event requires PPE in lab exercises) while in the facilities. Please do NOT wear shorts, open-toed shoes, or loose clothing that can get caught on equipment in the lab spaces.

Safety:

Our labs are working labs, as well as training and testing spaces. Equipment may or may not be energized with control voltages as well as three phase power. We ask that you do not open or operate any equipment within the facility without discussing with your host. Eaton staff will provide you with information on gathering points, as well as exit paths at the start of you event.

In addition, Eaton can customize training specific for your organization on a variety of other topics. To learn more visit www.eaton.com/electricalworkertraining or email RVdUIHwgZWF0b24gISBjb20=.
