About the Control of Hazardous Energy LOTO Course

Control of Hazardous Energy, or Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), is critical because it prevents serious injuries and fatalities by stopping machinery from unexpectedly starting up or releasing stored energy during maintenance or servicing. It protects workers from hazards like crushing, burning, electrical shock, and amputations, ensuring their safety by requiring that all energy sources be identified, isolated, and locked out before work begins.

What You Will Learn in Control of Hazardous Energy LOTO

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) training, based on OSHA and NFPA standards, teaches how to control hazardous energy during maintenance and servicing of equipment, preventing injuries from unexpected energization or startup. You'll learn to identify hazardous energy sources, understand LOTO procedures, and apply lockout/tagout devices to isolate energy. The training also covers employer and employee responsibilities, as well as the importance of periodic inspections.

Who Should Take Control of Hazardous Energy LOTO

The control of hazardous energy, often referred to as Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), is a critical safety standard mandated by organizations like OSHA and NFPA. Its primary goal is to prevent injuries or fatalities that can occur from the unexpected energization, startup, or release of stored energy during machine and equipment servicing and maintenance.
Target audience for LOTO training and implementation:
Authorized Employees: Individuals who perform servicing and/or maintenance on machines or equipment and are responsible for implementing LOTO procedures. They must be trained to recognize hazardous energy sources, understand the magnitude of energy present, and apply LOTO devices effectively.
Affected Employees: Workers whose job requires them to operate machines or equipment undergoing LOTO or to work in areas where LOTO procedures are being utilized. They need to be informed about the purpose of LOTO and instructed not to attempt restarting locked-out equipment.
All Employees in the Vicinity: Any employee working in areas where LOTO is used or where the potential for hazardous energy release exists should be aware of LOTO procedures.
Contractors: Contractors working on site are required to follow all applicable federal, state, and local laws, as well as the LOTO program established by the facility.
Supervisors and Management: Responsible for establishing, implementing, and enforcing the LOTO program, ensuring employee training, and providing the necessary equipment for LOTO procedures.
