"Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)" refers to specific practices and procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected startup of machinery and equipment, or the release of hazardous energy during service or maintenance activities. OSHA estimates that 3 million workers service equipment and face the greatest risk of injury if lockout/tagout is not properly implemented. Compliance with OSHAs lockout/tagout standard prevents an estimated 120 fatalities and 50,000 injuries each year. Workers injured on the job from exposure to hazardous energy lose an average of 24 workdays for recuperation.

This training course will help to inform employees over the requirements outlined in 29 CFR 1910.147. It covers the definitions of affected and authorized employees and what they can/can't do. This course also covers how to recognize hazardous energy sources and how to isolate them. Additional information from the company on specific equipment is highly recommended. Upon completion of the learning event, the learner will display the ability to recognize the purpose and basic requirements of lockout/tagout systems and worker responsibilities under a lockout/tagout system.
