Lockout/Tagout: Take Control
Electrical Health and Safety
Training
Provided by Technical Presentations
"Lockout/Tagout: Take Control" is for all authorized and affected employees working on or around machinery where unexpected energization or startup of the equipment could occur. This course lists specific procedures to effectively lock and tag equipment in order to control energy. After explaining the lockout/tagout program, this course lists various forms of hazardous energy and their potentials for harm. The training then details six steps necessary for successful lockout/tagout and the three steps to safe startup. Delivery formats include CD-ROM, LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet. The course can be customized to meet your site-specific needs. It is currently available in English, French and Spanish, and other language tracks can be added.

Lockout/Tagout: Take Control
Every workplace has the need for ongoing maintenance. Installation, repair, and servicing of machines and equipment may seem routine, but can be dangerous to employees performing the work. Serious injury can be caused by the sudden and unexpected startup of the machinery or equipment, contact with live electrical circuits or the unexpected release of stored energy. Equipment that has been shut down may inadvertently be re-started or re-energized by a co-worker, or equipment that was thought to be shut down may be controlled by automatic processors, timers, or computers and may re-start automatically and without warning. Failure to control hazardous energy sources results in approximately 120 deaths, 28,000 lost work days, and accounts for 10% of serious industrial accidents annually in the U.S. alone.
Fortunately, these hazards can be avoided through the use of lockout/tagout procedures. Lockout/tagout procedures isolate energy and control machinery and equipment, helping to protect employees servicing the equipment, operators, bystanders, and the equipment itself. This course teaches your workers proper lockout/tagout procedures, why the procedures are important, how and when to use them, and how to safely restart the equipment or machinery. Twenty-four interactions help bring the course content to life and reliably assess your worker s understanding of the material.
