Lockout/Tagout: Affected Employees (Refresher)

The Control of Hazardous Energy, known as “lockout/tagout” and related hazardous energy control measures are designed to protect employees from injuries due to unexpected start-up of machinery or equipment or the release of stored hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance operations.

This refresher training is for “affected employees”, or operators of machines and other employees in the area where an authorized employee may conduct service or maintenance on energized equipment.

Compliance:
To supplement this training course and comply with 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.147, employers must provide employees with site specific training on the recognition of applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control.

Lockout/Tagout: Affected Employees

The safety procedure known as “lockout/tagout” and related hazardous energy control measures are designed to protect employees from injuries due to unexpected start-up of machinery or equipment or the release of stored hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance operations.

This training is for “affected employees,” or operators of a machine or equipment that is serviced or maintained by an authorized employee other than the operator. This training is also required for employees who work in an area where servicing or maintenance of machinery or equipment is being performed.

Lockout/Tagout: Affected Employees (Spanish)

This session covers the safety procedure known as “lockout/tagout” and related hazardous energy control measures designed to protect you from injuries due to unexpected start-up of machinery or equipment or the release of stored hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance operations after the equipment has been turned off. It does not cover the protection measures for normal production operations-that is, while the equipment is still running. This is part of your training as an “affected employee,” or an operator of a machine or equipment that is serviced or maintained by an authorized employee other than the operator. This training is also required if you work in an area where servicing or maintenance of machinery or equipment is being performed, even though you do not operate the machinery or equipment. For example, material handlers and welders who routinely work in areas near machinery or equipment during servicing or maintenance operations are considered affected employees.

Esta sesión cubre el procedimiento de seguridad conocido como bloqueo/etiquetado y las medidas de control de energía peligrosa relacionadas diseñadas para protegerlo de lesiones debido a la puesta en marcha inesperada de maquinaria o equipo o la liberación de energía peligrosa almacenada durante las operaciones de servicio y mantenimiento después de que el equipo ha sido apagado.No cubre las medidas de protección para las operaciones de producción normales, es decir, mientras el equipo todavía se está ejecutando. Esto es parte de su capacitación como un “empleado afectado”, o un operador de una máquina o equipo que es atendido o mantenido por un empleado autorizado que no sea el operador. También se requiere esta capacitación si trabaja en un área donde se realiza el servicio o mantenimiento de maquinaria o equipo, a pesar de que no opera la maquinaria o el equipo.Por ejemplo, los manejadores y soldadores de materiales que trabajan habitualmente en áreas cercanas a maquinaria o equipo durante las operaciones de servicio o mantenimiento se consideran empleados afectados.

Lockout/Tagout: Authorized Employee

This session covers the safety procedure known as “Lockout/Tagout,” performed by authorized employees responsible for service and maintenance work on machines and equipment that contain or expose workers to the unexpected release of hazardous energy. Before performing this work, you need to have the knowledge and skills necessary to safely control hazardous energy and perform lockout and tagout of machines and equipment.

Lockout/Tagout: Authorized Employee (Spanish)

This session will train you to perform the responsibilities of an “authorized person.” An authorized person is an employee who services or maintains machinery and equipment. As an authorized person, you will be able to recognize hazardous energy sources, understand responsibilities to other employees, and control hazardous energy with lockout/tagout.

Esta sesión le capacitará para desempeñar las responsabilidades de una “persona autorizada”. Una persona autorizada es un empleado que realiza el mantenimiento de maquinaria y equipo. Como persona autorizada, podrá reconocer fuentes de energía peligrosas, comprender sus responsabilidades hacia otros empleados y controlar la energía peligrosa mediante bloqueo y etiquetado.
