Permit-to-Work and Energy Isolation Awareness for Energy Operations
Understand how permits, isolations and lockout/tagout keep high-risk energy work safe before it begins.
Start Course Now →Before any high-risk energy task starts, a system of permits, isolations and checks stands between people and hazardous energy. This beginner course gives you a practical grounding in permit-to-work, energy isolation and lockout/tagout, so you can recognise the controls at work and understand your part in them. It suits anyone new to energy operations, or anyone who needs a clear refresher on how safe work is authorised.
Walk out able to actually help.
You can spot hazardous energy and understand why high-risk tasks need formal controls before work begins.
You know the purpose, principles and key components of a permit-to-work system.
You can follow the logic of energy isolation and lockout/tagout procedures in line with recognised principles.
You understand how simultaneous operations and safe shift handover keep work controlled across teams and time.
Built around the moment it matters.
Introduction to Permit-to-Work and Energy Isolation
Sets the scene, covering course objectives, hazardous energy and why high-risk operations demand formal control.
Permit-to-Work (PTW) Systems
Explains the purpose and principles of PTW, its process and components, and how it works in practice.
Energy Isolation and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
Introduces energy isolation, the OSHA principles for controlling hazardous energy, and lockout/tagout procedures.
Managing Simultaneous Operations and Shift Handover
Looks at how simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) are managed and how to hand over a shift safely.
Controls and Best Practices Before High-Risk Tasks
Covers the common controls applied before starting work, plus continuous improvement and compliance.
Where this learning adds value.
Build practical capability you can apply immediately, and evidence of structured professional development.
Every programme sits on a pathway, so you can progress from foundation into the specialist streams your role or sector demands.
Contractors and suppliers are routinely asked to evidence trained personnel — structured training supports that case where the course is relevant.
Digital credentials can be independently verified online by employers and credential reviewers. Recognition requirements may vary by employer, jurisdiction, profession and certification type.
A certificate that carries weight.
Apexis Certificate of Completion
Issued by Apexis Risk Innovation Group on successful completion of the programme requirements. Where digital verification is enabled, employers can verify the credential record online.
Apexis Risk Innovation Group is an authorised TEEX Cooperative Learning Center. Selected Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) programmes delivered through Apexis are clearly identified by course name and code.
Who you learn it from matters.
Selected TEEX programmes are available through Apexis Risk Innovation Group, an authorised Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) Cooperative Learning Center, and are clearly identified by course name and code.
Programmes are designed by people who have done the job, around real workplace needs rather than textbook abstractions.
Content is contextualised to the operating environments our clients actually work in — energy, industrial, public safety and emergency response.
Every programme identifies who issues the credential, what it represents and how it can be verified.
