Energy is the power used to perform work. While essential to modern operations, it becomes hazardous when stored, accumulated, or released unexpectedly. Hazardous energy includes electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and other sources capable of causing injury. Failure to control hazardous energy before servicing or maintenance can result in serious injuries or fatalities.
The OSHA Standard for the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.147, establishes work practices to prevent accidents associated with hazardous energy. This Lockout Tagout Certification course is developed in accordance with OSHA requirements and incorporates the 2024 updates to the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. Together, these standards provide a comprehensive framework for reducing injuries such as burns, electrocution, crushing, cuts, amputations, and fractures.
The standard requires employers to establish an energy control program and follow procedures for applying lockout or tagout devices to energy isolating equipment. Machines and equipment must be disabled to prevent unexpected energization, startup, or release of stored energy during servicing and maintenance.
It also mandates employee training and regular inspections of energy control procedures to ensure they remain effective. Proper implementation of these requirements is critical for preventing workplace accidents and safeguarding employee well-being.
Who Needs This OSHA Lockout Tagout Course?
- Craft workers who perform repairs or adjustments benefit from understanding hazardous energy control procedures.
- Machine operators responsible for operating or clearing equipment require training in safe lockout and tagout practices.
- Electricians working with energized systems need clear guidance on electrical energy isolation requirements.
- Maintenance technicians responsible for inspections and repairs must follow proper de-energization and re-energization procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) refers to specific practices and procedures to protect employees from unexpected activations and start-ups by dangerous machines and equipment. The LOTO procedures also protect employees from the release of hazardous energy during service and maintenance activities.
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
- Comply with legislation and regulations
With this Lockout Tagout Training course, you will learn to define energy and distinguish between kinetic and potential energy as they relate to workplace hazards. You will gain an understanding of OSHA requirements for controlling hazardous energy and how they apply across general industry, maritime, and construction environments.
The course explains the proper use of lockout and tagout devices, energy isolating devices, and safe work practices during servicing and maintenance activities. You will learn how to recognize tasks and equipment that may be exempt from lockout tagout requirements and when alternative protective measures are appropriate. The training also covers the development, documentation, and inspection of energy control procedures to ensure ongoing effectiveness and employee safety.
