Lockout Tagout Training

Lockout Tagout Training

Training duration: 1 day

Energy sources including electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and others can be hazardous to employees, contractors, and the overall performance of your energized assets. Workers performing services or maintenance on machinery and equipment may be exposed to injuries from the unexpected energization, startup of the machinery or equipment, or release of stored energy in the equipment.

Lockout/Tagout standards require the adoption and implementation of practices and procedures to shut down equipment, isolate it from its energy source(s), and prevent the release of potentially hazardous energy while maintenance and servicing activities are being performed.
