Lockout Tagout Training teaches workers how to identify hazardous energy sources, apply energy isolation procedures, and comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. This 6-Hour instructor-led course prevents accidents, promotes compliance, and builds an effective electrical safety culture in the workplace.
Lockout Tagout Training Overview
-
Explains energy isolation and control of hazardous energy sources
-
Teaches OSHA and NFPA 70E compliance requirements for electrical safety
-
Demonstrates proper lockout, tagout, and verification procedures
Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Training provides the essential knowledge and procedures needed to protect workers who service or maintain machines and equipment. Improper control of hazardous energy can lead to electrical shock, arc flash, or mechanical injuries. This course equips participants with the skills to recognize, isolate, and verify the safe de-energization of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and thermal systems.
Our comprehensive Lockout Tagout Training emphasizes OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 electrical safety standards. Participants learn how to develop and implement effective energy control procedures that meet regulatory compliance and reduce workplace incidents. Real-world examples demonstrate the importance of establishing a zero-energy state before maintenance, using proper personal protective equipment (PPE), and verifying the release of stored energy before work begins.
Through expert instruction, participants learn to identify the roles of “authorized,” “affected,” and “other” employees under OSHA rules. The course also covers proper tagging procedures, device selection, documentation, and periodic inspections. It highlights group lockout procedures, shift changes, and contractor coordination—key areas where many facilities fail to maintain compliance.
Modern industrial operations depend on safe work practices and strong safety leadership. This electrical safety training for EHS managers helps supervisors, electricians, and maintenance staff foster a culture of prevention rather than reaction. A well-executed lockout tagout program not only prevents fatalities and equipment damage but also improves operational efficiency, worker morale, and regulatory confidence.
