Lock-Out Tag-Out Training Course

Course details

This course is designed for all employees and guests who work on or near equipment in which the unexpected energizing or start up of the machines or equipment, or release of stored energy could cause injury to employees above human vulnerability limits. This includes all the servicing, maintenance, modification, calibration, and repair functions.

The course is also designed to define Lockout/Tagout responsibilities, acceptable practices, and procedures with respect to safety and compliance. The course stresses specific approved techniques, tools, equipment, and line management and supervision responsibilities.

This standard establishes minimum performance requirements for the control of such hazardous energy. The information covered in this session includes the steps in the Lock-Out/Tag-Out and the affected employee's part in the procedure. Also, you'll be provided information on the locks and tags that are used.
