Lockout Tagout: It Would Have Saved His Life

Employees who use proper Lockout Tagout procedures prevent approximately 50,000 injuries and 150 deaths from occurring every year in North America. Proper Lockout Tagout procedures would have saved the life of Doug Gatewood, whose tragic story is used at the beginning of the course to demonstrate the consequences of unsafe work practices.

Employees will understand that Lockout Tagout procedures do not just apply to electrical equipment, but equipment with the following types of energy: thermal, pneumatic, compressed gases/liquids, and hydraulic.

This online course thoroughly explains Lockout Tagout procedures from the initial preparation stages back to the startup of the equipment. This course teaches employees the value of personal responsibility, so they can safely complete work using energized equipment.
