Safety Principles for Non-Electrical and Non-Mechanical Energy Sources Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply safety principles to identify and assess hazards associated with non-electrical and non-mechanical energy sources.
• Monitor compliance with relevant health and safety legislation and organizational procedures regarding energy sources.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of control measures for non-electrical and non-mechanical energy hazards.
• Implement risk assessment methodologies to analyze potential energy-related incidents.
• Demonstrate the ability to report and advise on safety measures for non-electrical and non-mechanical energy sources.
• Design corrective actions to mitigate risks from thermal, chemical, kinetic, potential, and radiation energy.

Target Audience

This course is designed for health and safety officers, risk assessors, supervisors, and any personnel responsible for workplace safety who need to manage non-electrical and non-mechanical energy sources.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practicals are essential to develop hands-on competence in isolating and controlling non-electrical and non-mechanical energy sources. Learners will practice energy isolation, lockout/tagout procedures, and emergency response in a controlled environment.

Practical Activities

• Energy Isolation and Lockout/Tagout — Learners practice isolating hydraulic, pneumatic, and thermal energy sources using appropriate lockout/tagout devices and verification procedures. (3h)
• Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment — Learners conduct a job safety analysis (JSA) for a scenario involving chemical and kinetic energy sources, and propose control measures. (2h)
• Emergency Response Simulation — Learners respond to a simulated energy-related incident (e.g., steam burn or chemical splash) using appropriate first aid and emergency procedures. (1h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
