Lock Out, Tag Out, Isolate And Access Plant Skill Set

Ensuring that plan undergoing maintenance or repair work is properly shutdown, isolated and with access restricted is a critical safety process, especially for those working within the energy sector.

Locking out, tagging out and isolating plant allows this work to be conducted efficiently and safely, making it quicker for plant to be returned to service.

This course equips workers with the skills and knowledge they need to best incorporate lock out, tag out and isolation processes for plant and equipment into existing repair and maintenance procedures.

These skills are aimed at mitigating the risks associated with sources of energy often found on work sites.  This course can be undertaken at our state-of-the-art training centres in Sydney, Dubbo, or Melbourne.

The HSE training team can also deliver this training at your work or job site using our mobile simulation training trailers.Hands on training with the experts.

At HSE, we believe the best way to learn is by doing. Having theory is important, but death by PowerPoint-style lectures often result in poor learning outcomes.

Having students be active participants improves their retention of information and helps create lived experience they can recall when out on site.

We have invested heavily in our three training centres to ensure they give our participants not just a sense of what they are likely to come across on the job site, but to make their training as close to the real thing as possible.Platch switch locked and tagged out of service.
