Lockout / Tagout

Control of hazardous energy commonly referred to as lockout/tagout is a strictly enforced OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.417. One of the key aspects of the regulation is the training of all authorized employees (those using the procedure to perform lockout/tagout work).

Authorized employees must be trained to properly use energy control procedures to safely perform maintenance, servicing, or installation work where hazardous energy could cause an injury. The class includes a demonstration of typical lockout/tagout devices.
