LOCKOUT & ENERGY CONTROL, MPS and SCS for GM Contractors - Overview
This course is designed to familiarize participants with the requirements and procedures to perform Lockout Energy Control safely in a GM plant or facility. In addition, information on when an authorized person can use Safety Control Systems (SCS) or Monitored Power Systems (MPS) instead of Lockout Energy Control is explained thoroughly.
