Define the scope and safety purpose of the OSHA LOTO standard

Determine specific triggers for mandatory employee retraining

Course Overview

It’s not just about turning it off; it’s about ensuring it stays off.

Unexpected machine startup during maintenance is a leading cause of workplace tragedy. This training short explains why the OSHA Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) standard is the ultimate safeguard against hazardous energy. We dive into the employer's duty to establish an energy-control protocol, a strict set of rules to shut down, isolate, and block machinery before anyone touches a gear.

Crucially, we clarify the "Who's Who" of LOTO. Do you know the specific difference between an Authorized Employee and an Affected Employee? Confusing these roles can lead to unauthorized tampering and severe injury. We also cover the strict timeline for training and the specific triggers, like a new machine or a job change, that mandate immediate retraining. Watch this video to ensure every member of your team knows their role in keeping the power down.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

LOTO is required anytime machines or equipment are serviced, which could cause injury to employees due to an unexpected startup or the release of stored energy, such as when repairing electrical circuits or clearing jammed mechanisms.

The primary purpose of this OSHA standard is to keep employees safe in the workplace by isolating machinery from any power source and preventing moving parts from starting up unexpectedly during servicing.

Training must be provided for "authorized," "affected," and "other" employees, with the content specific to the needs and responsibilities of each group.

Employers must establish an energy-control protocol to ensure that machines are disconnected from their energy sources and inoperative before servicing or maintenance. They must also use appropriate LOTO devices.

Retraining is necessary whenever there is a change in job assignments, machinery, or processes that present a new hazard, or if the employee's knowledge of the energy-control procedures is inadequate.
