Scout's Toolbox Talks
⚡ Electrical Safety
Lockout/Tagout for Electrical Work
If it’s not de-energized and locked out, it’s not safe to touch — period.
Unexpected energization during electrical work can lead to shock, arc flash, or fatal burns. These toolbox talks cover OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO) requirements for electrical systems, verifying de-energization, identifying energy sources, applying lockout devices, tagging procedures, and restoring power safely. Use them to ensure workers never assume power is off — they verify it and lock it out every time.
Use these toolbox talks to train crews on electrical-specific LOTO procedures, meet OSHA 1910.333 and 1926.417 standards, and prevent serious jobsite electrical accidents.
