Control of Hazardous Energy CSA Z460

Drawing from the guidelines of the Canadian Standards Association's Z460 standard, this course delves deeply into the principles and techniques of energy control, commonly known as lockout/tagout procedures. Whether it's electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, or thermal energy, participants will understand the risks associated with each and the methods to control them.

Key modules cover a broad range of topics, from identification and assessment of energy sources to effective energy isolation, release, and verification techniques.

Participants will also be equipped with strategies for emergency situations where rapid shutdowns or restorations are required. Beyond the technical aspects, the training emphasizes the significance of fostering a safety-first culture in the workplace.

Attendees will learn the importance of regular audits, continuous training, and ensuring that lockout/tagout procedures align with the CSA Z460 standards.
