Lockout / Tagout: Controlling Hazardous Energy

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed standards around proper procedures to control hazardous energy. During the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment, the unexpected or unintended startup or release of stored energy can result in serious injury or death to individuals without implementing certain safeguard measures. Hazardous stored energy can come from many sources including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and thermal.

This Controlling Hazardous Energy course covers when employees should use lockout/tagout procedures and the details of the Energy Control Plan. Employee designations such as authorized employees are explained. The course demonstrates the use of different lockout/tagout devices, the steps of a lockout/tagout procedure, and returning equipment to a serviceable state post-lockout.

Use this course to ensure safe and effective protocols are implemented and followed when servicing equipment with stored energy hazards.
