Why Should You Attend:
The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout), Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147 addresses the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment that would prevent the release of hazardous energy while employees perform servicing and maintenance activities.
This course will provide an overview of these requirements so that an employer can understand their responsibility to protect employees from hazardous energy sources on machines and equipment during service and maintenance. Hazardous energy sources include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal or other sources in equipment that can be hazardous to workers.

The course will also discuss these essentials:
Lockout/ Tagout Requirements
Lockout devices—such as circuit breakers, slide gates, line valves and disconnect switches—ensure that an energy isolating device cannot be used until the lockout device is removed. A lockout device uses a constructive means, such as a key or combination lock, to hold an energy-isolating device in a safe position to prevent energization.
Tagout devices, such as tags or other prominent warning devices, show that an energy-isolating device and its equipment must not be used until the tagout device is removed.
