Lock-Out Tag-Out Training Program Outline
The following training course materials have been developed to introduce the terms, applications, concepts and skills to individuals wanting to become "competent" workers, equipment operators, and / or safety professionals. Basic operations, equipment, and safety training programs provide the only means necessary to fully understand the rules, dangers, and safe work practices when working amongst mobile equipment and other safety related hazards or concerns.

Lock-Out Tag-Out Training Program

What is lockout?

Lockout can be defined as the utilization of a lock, tags, or series of locks and tags to isolate an energy source or to render equipment "de-energized" or inoperable. Also referred as “de-energization”, lockout procedures are necessary to ensure all energy-isolating devices are indeed prevented from being enabled due to accidental, operational, or inadvertent procedures. In other words, proper lockout procedures ensure the safety of workers by not allowing machinery or devices to start, be energized or powered on. The procedure of locking out machinery or equipment is in most cases performed by maintenance personnel prior to performing installations, machine repairs, equipment cleaning or lubrication.

Lockout example: A technician or industrial mechanic might lockout all sources of electricity to a machine prior to repairing a faulty switch. In order to do so, the technician must first turn off the power switch before locking it out in order to prevent the unit from being started accidentally. Once the unit is securely locked out, the technician can then begin the process of repair. After the repairs are complete, the technician will then remove the lock and restart the machine to assess reapirs done or to start the production cycle once again.

Why lockout is necessary?

Every year, Canadian workers are at risk to injury within the common workplace. It's no secret that most accidents can be prevented now matter how big or small the incident may be. Broken bones, crushed or severed limbs, shocks, burns, and even death can result when failure to adhere to proper lockout procedures is evident. In most accidental situations, the final outcome results in injuries to workers, lost production time, machine or product damage, and even the enforcement of fines to workers, supervisors, owners, including hired-on contractors. All of which can be prevented by having safe working knowledge of both limitations and procedures to adequately and safely perform job maintenance or duties.
