Lock and Tag: Lockout Tagout; Take Control

In this OSHA Lockout Tagout Safety course, you will learn how 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. In this online osha training course, you will learn how lockout/tagout procedures isolate energy and control machinery and equipment, which helps protect service employees, operators, bystanders, and the equipment itself. This web based safety training 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.
