Reduce workplace risk through clear Lockout Tagout: Secure Safely instruction on different types of energy and measures to prevent re-energization of machinery.
Focused on real-world application, Lockout Tagout: Secure Safely turns core concepts into clear actions learners can use at work. Key outcomes include the ability to explain different types of energy, spot measures to prevent re-energization of machinery, and summarize the difference between lockout and tagout. The material also helps learners explain the different types of personnel and their roles. Practical examples connect the subject to routine tasks, expected procedures, and decisions employees may need to make on the job. Learners finish with a clearer understanding of what to look for, how to respond, and when to raise a concern or seek additional guidance.
Lockout/tagout training is required for authorized employees who lock out equipment to service it. Affected employees who operate or work near that equipment must be trained too. All other workers in the area need awareness so they never remove a lock or restart tagged equipment. The 16-minute video is in English, with Spanish, French, Korean and Vietnamese closed captions.
Lockout/tagout is covered by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, the control of hazardous energy standard. The standard requires a written energy control program, equipment-specific procedures, employee training and a periodic inspection of each procedure at least once a year. Lockout is preferred, and tagout alone is used mainly when a device cannot accept a lock.
OSHA does not set a fixed calendar interval for lockout/tagout retraining. Retraining is required whenever job duties, machines, energy control procedures or hazards change. It is also required when an inspection or other evidence shows an employee's knowledge or use of procedures falls short. Many employers refresh training annually as a best practice.
Lockout is safer than tagout. A lockout device, such as a padlock, physically holds an energy-isolating device in the off position so equipment cannot be restarted. A tagout device is only a warning tag with no physical barrier. Tags must therefore be clear, durable and securely attached.
Lockout/tagout must control every hazardous energy source on a machine, including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical and thermal energy. Stored energy in springs, raised parts, capacitors and pressurized lines must be released or blocked. Moving parts must come to a full stop before work begins.
