Lockout/Tagout Employee Training

Each of the machines we use is powered by energy: electricity, pneumatic, hydraulic or some other form. Because any of these forms of energy can be dangerous, we must be careful when working around them. To protect employees who set-up, repair or maintain machinery from energy related injuries, OSHA enacted Lockout/Tagout regulations in 1989.

This video will show to your employees the potential dangers of working on energized machinery equipment as well as the rules for conducting safe Lockout/Tagout procedures. Other topics covered in the video include the Energy Control Plan, authorized and affected employees, types of lockout devices and lockout procedures required for special situations.

After watching the program, the participant will be able to explain the following:

• Situations where Lockout/Tagout should be used;
• Which procedures should be used in a given situation;
• Which lockout devices should be used for each situation;
• Procedures for working in special situations such as shift changes or groups.
