Think safety first when working within semiconductor fabrication facilities. Become aware of the different types of hazardous energy that may injure or even kill you. Develop and practice a hazardous energy control program at your company using lockout/tagout procedures when servicing equipment or tools inside the fabrication facility.

Unexpected energization of semiconductor fabrication equipment being serviced or maintained can have fatal consequences. Take this course to learn how lockout/tagout procedures protect all employees and make the employees who perform maintenance and service work 100% responsible for their own safety. Ideal learners are semiconductor fabrication workers, especially authorized employees.

This online Semiconductor Hazardous Energy Control course covers the following topics:

• Semiconductor Hazardous Energy Control Part 1: Safety Awareness
• Semiconductor Hazardous Energy Control Part 2: Safety Protection
• Semiconductor Hazardous Energy Control Part 3: Lockout/Tagout Procedures

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Know the types of hazardous energy that may be present in semiconductor fabrication environments
• Recall the purpose of a hazardous energy control program
• Identify employer requirements to establish and use a hazardous energy control program
