This course aligns with the guidelines provided by OSHA regulations, specifically outlined in 29 CFR, Part 1914, as well as the ANSI/ASSE Z241‐200 standard. It is designed to fulfill the training requirements stated in the OSHA regulation for individuals engaged in work areas where Lockout programs are implemented, or for those whose job responsibilities involve performing Lockout procedures and isolating energy sources. According to ANSI, professionals responsible for equipment requiring lockout must establish systems that ensure the safe operation of equipment with potentially hazardous energy containment.

Course Objectives:

Lockout/tag-out procedures can prevent the unexpected energizing or release of stored energy in machines or equipment that could cause injuries. Learn when lockout/tag-out procedures are required, how to implement appropriate policies and procedures including training and communication requirements, protective materials and hardware, proper Sequence of the lockout, and how to restore equipment to service

The Process:

This workshop is designed to be a hands‐on, stimulating experience. The program is highly interactive with many discussions and facilitated practice sessions.

The Benefits:

Individuals exposed to this training will develop expertise in the management of the Control of hazardous energy through a project‐based implementation and maintaining that strategy through good management techniques. They will learn why the best companies in the world see Lockout/Tag-out as an integral component in delivering cost-effective equipment functionality in a safe and secure manner by securing a thorough knowledge of lockout/tag-out procedures.

Who Should Attend?

It is recommended that all Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, and technical support staff including leadership and management attend this workshop. If you and your company are interested in maintaining a safe, cost-effective organization, this will be a very valuable course.
