Energy Isolation (LOTO)

Today we use various types of energy in industry such as Electric, Pneumatic, Hydraulic, Chemical, Gravitational and Radiation. The Energy Isolation (LOTO) training covers the servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment in which the unexpected energizing or start up of the machines or equipment, or release of stored energy could cause injury to employees. This training establishes minimum performance requirements for the control of such hazardous energy.

By the end of this training an employee would be able to:

• Explain source of Hazardous energy.
• Describe arc flash.
• Energy control procedures.
• Protective materials and hardware.
• Authorized and Affected employees.
• Outline Lockout/ Tagout procedures.
• Outline Guarding requirements.
• Describe the use of Insulation.
• Describe the use of Personal Protective Equipment.
