The course will give students the tools to create Equipment Specific Lockout/Tagout Template to help ensure employees are not injured or killed while performing maintenance or servicing on equipment. The Control of Hazardous Energy standard found in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 1910.147. The course is designed for personnel involved in operations, maintenance, facilities and servicing of equipment along with those supervising these operations. Countless employees have been killed or injured because they did not isolate the hazardous energy properly.

The topics covered in this module include:

• State the different forms of hazardous energy

• Identify and isolate hazardous energy

• Locks, tags and protective hardware

• Hazardous energy isolation steps - Lockout/Tagout application

• Equipment Specific Lockout/Tagout Template

• Equipment Specific Lockout/Tagout Examples (3)

• Lockout/Tagout device removal steps

This course contains photos from site visits showing the various forms of hazardous energy found at industrial facilities to include electrical, mechanical, thermal pneumatic, chemical (liquids and gases), hydraulic and steam. Lock, tags, hasps along with specialty LO/TO devices are covered.

Students will be able to download a modifiable equipment specific lockout/tagout template for use at their facility. Three examples are also covered to show not just the isolation of the hazardous energy but how to document each step to include the type of hazardous energy, magnitude, isolation method and finally the location of the lockout/tagout point. Students who complete this course will be granted 0.1 CEU. Please contact me at [email protected]
