Lockout Tagout (LOTO) - OSHA
Lockout/tagout procedures are one of the most important safeguards on any United States worksite where machinery and equipment are serviced or maintained. When hazardous energy isn't properly isolated, the consequences are severe: electrocution, burns, amputations, and crushing injuries caused by unexpected start-ups or the sudden release of stored energy. Proper training is what stands between a routine maintenance task and a life-altering incident, which is why understanding LOTO is essential for everyone working in or around these areas. This course covers worker and employer responsibilities, the different forms of primary and stored energy, common LOTO devices, and how to develop and carry out safe lockout/tagout procedures under 29 CFR 1910.147.
What You'll Learn
- LOTO roles and responsibilities (authorized, affected, and other employees)
- Employer responsibilities and hazard assessment
- The hierarchy of controls
- Training and program reviews
- Primary and stored forms of hazardous energy
- LOTO devices
- Developing written LOTO procedures
- Locking and tagging out equipment
About This Course
Hazardous energy comes in many forms, including electrical, hydraulic, thermal, mechanical, and gravitational, and any of them can cause serious injuries like electrocution, burns, amputation, and crushing if released without control. Most of these incidents trace back to unexpected start-ups, the release of stored energy, or a failure to properly lock out or tag out equipment before servicing it. Lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, governed by the US federal standard 29 CFR 1910.147, isolate these energy sources and render them inoperative so maintenance and servicing can happen safely. This course walks you through the roles, energy types, and step-by-step procedures you need to know.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
• Explain the purpose of LOTO and when it should be used
• Describe the differences between primary and stored forms of energy
• Provide examples of LOTO devices
• Describe the basic steps of performing LOTO

On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
