Lockout Tagout
Contact Hours: 3 (an estimated time frame devoted to a course of study from start to finish that can vary from student to student)
The purpose of a lockout/tagout program is to establish procedures for placing lockout and/or tagout devices on energy-isolating components. Following these procedures ensures that equipment is de-energized and unexpected startup and/or release of stored energy is prevented. Injuries to personnel during equipment servicing and maintenance are greatly reduced with a properly implemented lockout/tagout program.
Please note: Course of study may be completed earlier than indicated and students retain access for one year from the date of enrollment.
Upon successful completion, students will be able to:
Describe the purpose of a lockout/tagout program.
List the principles of a lockout/tagout program.
Identify lockout/tagout devices.
Explain the responsibilities of the authorized employee.
Each module contains numerous Knowledge Checks along the way to help you measure your understanding. At the end of each module there is a final quiz. A score of 80% or higher is required to earn a certificate of completion.
