Week #3: (9/16) LOTO, Blocking & PPE

Post by rjagodowski »

Before class this week, you should have read the following sections in the text:
2.3 Securing the Work Area (Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), Blocking)
2.4 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)


Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)

OSHA on Lockout-Tagout Procedures.

YouTube: What is Lockout/Tagout?
YouTube: Lockout/Tagout Overview


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Content dealing with Personal Protective Equipment can be found in the text on pages 30-32.

OSHA on PPE

PPE Training Not overly flashy, but basic information and quizzes on PPE.

A 15 minute YouTube presentation on PPE - An Overview of the Basics.

A 5 minute YouTube video on Why Do We Wear PPE?. Several of the demos illustrate the points nicely.


And a PPE Safety Rap Video for those who learn through music.

ArcFlash Links:

This is a bit beyond normal considerations for electrical safety, but for those involved with the high voltage & current switching equipment, being aware of ArcFlash Safety can save your life.

Here's a very informative book on ArcFlash:
Practical-Solution-Guide-to-ArcFlash-Hazards_2ndED (arcflash).pdf
You can register here to receive this directly from the publisher and see other related content they have available.

The above document is WAY more detailed than we'll cover in a course such as this, and we'll mention more about this in the chapter on Electrical Safety.
