Who it's for

Authorized employees who service or maintain machinery, and affected employees who operate it.

Why it matters

Uncontrolled hazardous energy during maintenance causes amputations and fatalities. OSHA requires an energy-control program and training before an employee performs covered work.

FAQ

What is the difference between "authorized" and "affected"?
Authorized employees perform the lockout and servicing; affected employees operate the machine and must recognize when LOTO is in effect. The course covers both.
Does this cover the 6-step sequence?
Yes — prepare, shut down, isolate, lock/tag, release stored energy, and verify zero energy. It also covers group lockout and shift changes.
