OSHA-ANSI Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Certificate Training
Comprehensive OSHA and ANSI-compliant Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) training covering hazardous energy control procedures to help prevent workplace injuries and ensure regulatory compliance.
Course Overview
The OSHA-ANSI Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Certificate Training provides workers, supervisors, and safety professionals with the knowledge and practical understanding needed to safely control hazardous energy during equipment servicing and maintenance. This course aligns with OSHA's Control of Hazardous Energy standard (29 CFR 1910.147) and incorporates ANSI best practices to help organizations reduce the risk of unexpected equipment startup, electrical shock, mechanical hazards, and other energy-related incidents.
Topics include:
- OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 Lockout/Tagout requirements
- ANSI best practices for hazardous energy control
- Identifying hazardous energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and chemical)
- Proper lockout and tagout procedures
- Energy isolation devices and verification of zero-energy state
- Employee roles and responsibilities (authorized, affected, and other employees)
- Group lockout procedures and shift changes
- Periodic inspections, audits, and compliance requirements
- Common LOTO violations and accident prevention strategies
Who Should Take This Course?
- Maintenance and repair technicians
- Industrial and manufacturing workers
- Electricians and electrical maintenance personnel
- Machine operators
- Facility and plant managers
- Safety managers and EHS professionals
- Supervisors responsible for equipment maintenance
- Anyone who services, maintains, or works around machinery requiring Lockout/Tagout procedures
Upon successful completion of this OSHA-ANSI Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Certificate Training, participants will be able to:
- Explain the concept of energy and identify why it becomes hazardous in workplace environments.
- Describe OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements for the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), including scope, application, and exceptions.
- Differentiate between lockout and tagout methods and explain when each method is appropriate.
- Explain the purpose and key principles of ANSI/ASSP Z244.1-2024 and its role in the control of hazardous energy.
- Identify energy isolating devices and explain their role in effective hazardous energy control.
- Demonstrate the step-by-step process of controlling hazardous energy, including identification, isolation, de-energization, and verification.
- Recognize and control stored, residual, and unexpected energy hazards during servicing and maintenance activities.
- Understand how the design of machines, equipment, and processes impacts the control of hazardous energy.
- Apply OSHA energy control procedures, including group lockout/tagout, shift changes, contractor coordination, and periodic inspections.
- Explain training requirements for authorized, affected, and other employees involved in hazardous energy control programs.
- Describe key NFPA 70E requirements related to electrical safe work practices and their integration with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
- Evaluate alternative methods of hazardous energy control using risk assessment and the hierarchy of controls.
- Describe the essential elements of a hazardous energy control program, including written procedures, equipment, employee training, and periodic program reviews.
