Lock Out Tag Out Train the Trainer

Course Aim:

Every workplace has the need for on-going 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 circuit or the unexpected release of stored energy.

Equipment that is 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 be re-start automatically and without warning.
