Each year many accidents are caused by the accidental release of hazardous energy during machine maintenance. These accidents have resulted in serious injuries and even death. One major cause of such accidents is the unexpected start-up of equipment during maintenance or servicing.
Employees know during normal operations that energy is being supplied to the equipment and to follow proper safety rules. When shut down for maintenance or repairs though, employees expect the energy flow to the equipment to be interrupted, disconnected, or shut-off. LOTO, also known as Lockout Tagout addresses this issue. When an unexpected release of stored energy during servicing or maintenance is released, it can lead to serious consequences.
This training will help your employees understand the risks of hazardous energy, the responsibilities of authorized employees, and how lockout/tagout can be safely implemented. This training covers OSHA compliant information on lockout/tagout procedures and works well in conjunction with a robust hazardous energy plan.
