Servicing or maintaining energized equipment without proper lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures can result in severe injuries, fatalities, and costly OSHA violations. Authorized employees must be trained to identify hazardous energy sources, isolate equipment safely, and verify that all stored energy has been effectively controlled before beginning maintenance or servicing work. Comprehensive lockout/tagout training is critical for preventing unexpected machine startup and ensuring workplace safety.

TrainingToday’s Lockout/Tagout: Authorized Employee course delivers OSHA-compliant training designed specifically for employees responsible for servicing and maintaining machinery or equipment. This online LOTO training uses real-world scenarios, interactive instruction, and built-in knowledge checks to help learners understand and apply hazardous energy control procedures with confidence.

In the full 34-minute course, participants will learn how to:

  • Identify hazardous energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and more)
  • Determine the type and magnitude of energy associated with equipment
  • Apply proper energy isolation and lockout/tagout procedures
  • Verify zero energy state and effective energy control
  • Understand the purpose, use, and limitations of lockout tags and devices

This lockout/tagout training course is available through the TrainingToday LMS or can be integrated into your existing system via SCORM, AICC, or xAPI formats. Content is regularly reviewed and updated by BLR’s environmental health and safety (EHS) experts to ensure alignment with current OSHA standards and industry best practices.
