Frequently Asked Questions
The course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements of the OSHA Standard for the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147. It also incorporates the requirements set out in ANSI/ASSP Z244.1-2024 for the control of hazardous energy and discusses the guidance and best practices outlined in NFPA 70E (2024).
Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) refers to specific practices and procedures to protect employees from unexpected activation or startup of dangerous machines and equipment. The LOTO procedures also protect employees from the release of hazardous energy during service and maintenance activities.
- Limiting the number of industrial accidents
- Control of insurance and compensation fees
- Better use of machines: reduced downtime and increased productivity
- Strengthening employee capacity
- Optimize the reputation
- Comply with legislation and regulations
Our OSHA-ANSI Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Certificate Training:
- Designed to meet Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147 and ANSI/ASSP Z244.1-2024 Control of Hazardous Energy requirements and NFPA 70E, ensuring both employees and employers stay compliant and avoid costly violations.
- Teaches proven methods to control hazardous energy, helping reduce the risk of electrocution, amputations, and other serious workplace accidents.
- Uses real-world examples, step-by-step procedures, and engaging visuals to make even complex requirements easy to understand and apply on the job.
- Addresses responsibilities of authorized, affected, and other employees, making it suitable for a wide range of industries and workplaces.
This course is suitable for employees engaged in servicing and maintenance of equipment and machinery. Craft workers, machine operators, electricians, and laborers are among the workers who service equipment and machinery and therefore face the greatest risk of injury. To ensure the health and well-being of employees, hazardous energy must be controlled by preventing its transmission from the source to the equipment it powers up.
Yes, the OSHA Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) training is specifically designed for authorized employees. Authorized employees are those who are allowed to apply, use, or remove energy control devices (locks and tags) to isolate and control hazardous energy sources during servicing and maintenance activities.
OSHA LOTO Training Requirements for Authorized Employees:
- Who is considered an authorized employee?
- Any employee who is involved in servicing or maintaining machines or equipment that have the potential for hazardous energy release.
- This includes electricians, mechanics, millwrights, machine operators, and other workers who may need to perform service or maintenance tasks.
- What are the training requirements for authorized employees?
- Authorized employees must receive training in the recognition of all potentially hazardous energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, etc.) in the workplace.
- They must also be trained on the type and magnitude of energy available in the workplace and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control.
- This training must include hands-on practice with the specific energy control procedures that will be used in their job.
- The training must be conducted in a language that the employees understand.
- How often must authorized employees be retrained?
- Authorized employees must be retrained at least annually, or more frequently when there is a change in the energy control procedures or the employee's job duties.
They must also be retrained whenever they are observed not following the energy control procedures correctly.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
OSHA regulations recommend employees take this course as an annual refresher.

As someone responsible for workplace compliance, I needed a course that actually aligned with ANSI 244.1. This delivered exactly that.
Comprehensive, professional, and practical. The course covers everything from energy isolation procedures to group lockout and beyond. I've already recommended it to three colleagues in our department.
Great balance between theory and application. Access to ANSI Z244.1 in such detail was a big plus for me!
