Course description
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.
Course Duration: 28 min
