Supporting the Next Generation: Delivering Safe Isolation Lock-Off Kits for 2025 Apprentices

We are proud to continue our commitment to electrical safety by delivering fully funded Safe Isolation Lock-Off Kits to the 2025 intake of first-year electrical apprentices. This year’s rollout has now been completed, ensuring new starters are equipped with the right tools from the very beginning of their careers. 

Building on a Strong Partnership 

In partnership with Electrical Safety First, we have once again provided almost 600 Level 3 electrical installation apprentices with these essential kits at no cost. This ongoing collaboration reflects a shared focus on raising standards across the industry and making sure safety is built into everyday practice from the outset. 

Addressing a Critical Safety Gap 

This initiative builds on the findings of ETT’s Ending Shock Silence report, which highlighted gaps in the consistent use of proper safe isolation procedures—one of the most important protections against electric shock. By equipping apprentices with the correct tools from day one, we are taking a practical step to help close that gap. 

Embedding a Culture of Safety 

At ETT, our focus is to: 

• Embed best practice early in training  

• Support consistent use of safe isolation procedures  

• Give apprentices the confidence to prioritise safety throughout their careers  

This approach helps ensure that safe isolation is not seen as optional, but as a standard part of the job. 

Looking Ahead 

As the initiative grows, so does our ambition to strengthen safety culture across the electrical industry. Supporting apprentices at the start of their careers helps turn good practice into lasting habits. 

A Shared Commitment 

Commenting on the initiative, ETT’s CEO said: 

“We’re grateful to Electrical Safety First for their continued support. This partnership allows us to put the right tools in apprentices’ hands from day one. It’s a simple step, but it makes a real difference in helping build safe working habits that last throughout a career.”
