This essential safety training teaches workers the critical six-step lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure required by OSHA to protect employees from the unexpected startup of machinery or release of hazardous energy during service and maintenance operations. Following these steps prevents serious injuries and fatalities from electrocution, caught-in hazards, crushing injuries, and amputations. The program breaks down the complete LOTO process into six mandatory steps: (1) Preparation—identifying energy sources and notifying affected employees, (2) Shutdown—properly shutting down equipment using normal stopping procedures, (3) Isolation—disconnecting or isolating all energy sources including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and thermal, (4) Lockout/Tagout—applying lockout devices and danger tags to isolated energy sources, (5) Stored Energy Check—releasing or restraining residual or stored energy such as capacitors, springs, elevated machine parts, and pressurized lines, and (6) Isolation Verification—testing to confirm that equipment cannot start and all energy is effectively isolated before beginning work. Topics include identifying all energy sources that require control, selecting and applying appropriate lockout devices and tags, using personal locks to ensure only the worker who installed the lock can remove it, conducting verification tests to prove zero energy state, procedures for group lockout when multiple workers are involved, and safe restoration of energy after work is completed. This training emphasizes that shortcuts in the six-step LOTO procedure can result in tragic consequences and that full compliance with each step is mandatory before servicing equipment.
