Lockout Tagout

You may need to service or repair your machine and just because you turned off your machine, does not mean the energy may go away!

If you don't think it can happen to you...Think Again!

In the workplace, energy is essential and is all around us. Unexpected start up of the equipment or the unexpected release of stored energy, if not controlled, can cause serious injuries to the worker.

To keep the worker safe, extra precaution must be taken – this is called Lockout Tagout, or also know as LOTO procedures.

It's called Lockout Tagout because a special purpose lock is used to lock the energy source in a disconnected position and a specialized tag is applied, which indicates the equipment should not be operated. Protect yourself from injury or death and get proper Lockout Tagout training.

Our course is designed to ensure workers, employers, management can identify uncontrolled energy hazard and the proper methods of controlling that energy through an implemented lockout program.

This course is based on CSA Z460-05 Control of Hazardous Energy – Lockout and Other Methods.
