OSHA Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Training course is designed for craft workers, machine operators, electricians, laborers, and other workers who perform servicing and/or maintenance operations on equipment or machinery that may expose them to various sources of hazardous energy. Sources of hazardous energy include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and other energy sources.
Energy is the power for doing work. Our modern lives depend on the use of energy and its conversion from one form to another. Energy becomes hazardous when it builds to a dangerous level or is suddenly released in great quantities. If hazardous energy is not properly controlled before servicing or maintenance work begins, employees may be seriously injured or killed. Injuries from unexpectedly re-energized equipment could include burns, electrocution, crushing, cuts, lacerations, amputations, and fractures.
The OSHA Standard for the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147, sets forth the work practices and controls employers must implement to prevent accidents associated with hazardous energy. This course is developed in line with this OSHA standards and also incorporates the recent 2024 requirements of the NFPA 70E regulations.
The standard requires employers to establish an energy control program and utilize procedures for affixing appropriate lockout devices or tagout devices to energy isolating devices, and to otherwise disable machines or equipment to prevent unexpected energization, start up, or release of stored energy during servicing and maintenance operations. The standard also sets forth requirements for employee training and periodic inspections of energy control procedures to ensure their effectiveness in keeping employees safe.
Why Choose this LOTO Training?
Our OSHA Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Training:
- Designed to meet OSHA’s Control of Hazardous Energy requirements, 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.
What You'll Learn
With our Lockout Tagout Training course, you will learn the following.
- Define energy and differentiate between kinetic and potential energy, recognizing how it can pose risks in the workplace.
- Explain OSHA’s requirements for the control of hazardous energy and how they apply to general industry, maritime, and construction settings.
- Demonstrate the proper use of lockout and tagout devices, energy isolating devices, and safe work practices for servicing and maintaining equipment.
- Identify tasks and equipment exempt from LOTO requirements and know when alternative safety measures are necessary.
- Develop and follow energy control procedures, including proper documentation and periodic inspection requirements.
Who Should Enroll?
This OSHA Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Training course is suitable for employees engaged in servicing and maintenance of equipment and machinery. Craft workers, machine operators, electricians, and laborers are some examples of 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.
The core objective of the OSHA Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Training course is to familiarize workers with the pertinent elements of OSHA’s Standard for the Control of Hazardous Energy (29 CFR 1910.147) and the safe work practices and training requirements as set forth by the standard. This course also incorporates the requirements as set out by the NFPA 70E 2024 Standards.
Course Objectives
After course completion the learner will be able to:
- Discuss OSHA standards for the control of hazardous energy.
- Define energy and differentiate between kinetic and potential energy.
- Explain the requirements for lockout and tagout devices.
- Discuss the training requirements for authorized employees, affected employees, and other employees.
- List the five steps for properly de-energizing equipment.
- Describe the procedure for re-energizing equipment.
- Explain the group lockout or tagout procedures.
- Summarize what inspectors look for in periodic inspections and the conditions under which corrective action might be needed.

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.
- 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, and
- Comply with legislation and regulations.
According to OSHA Standards, there are several instances when employees must be retrained in lockout/tagout procedures. These are:
- When there is a change in an employee’s job assignment.
- If there are any changes to machines or equipment used in the workplace.
- Changes to work procedures that may produce new energy-related hazard(s).
- When an employer changes their energy control program or energy control procedures.
- When an inspection reveals any deviation from the specified energy control procedures.
- In instances when an employee does not follow defined processes or demonstrates a lack of knowledge or skill in lockout/tagout procedures.
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.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your LOTO certificate in PDF format.
Validity: The course certificate is valid for 3 years.
Renewal: By taking this OSHA Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Training course again.
Please Note: OSHA does not specify how often someone needs to be retrained for this course after their initial training. Therefore, refresher training is at the employer’s discretion and may be required if there are regulatory changes or other specific process changes. However, due to the dangers that are posed by the unexpected release of hazardous energy, it is recommended to retrain employees every 3 years.
