Lockout/Tagout: Affected Employees

Course description

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.
