Lockout
/ Tagout
If machinery could unexpectedly
activate or if the unexpected release of an energy source could
cause injury, the energy source must be isolated and controlled.
This is done through a lockout/tagout procedure.
Lockout/tagout is one of
three safe work procedures that Workplace Safety Legislation requires
an employer to develop.
Lockout/tagout systems are
not only used when dealing with electricity, but also for hydraulic,
pneumatic, steam and other systems. Employee training in your company's
lockout/tagout system is essential.
Upon the successful completion
of the program, students will be qualified to develop a company
approved lockout/tagout procedure.
Length of Course:
One half-day of training (4 hours)
A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the course.
