Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Awareness is a mandatory safety training program designed for workers who service, maintain, or operate machinery and equipment in industrial, construction, and technical environments. This course educates workers on the safe shutdown and isolation of energy sources to prevent accidental startup or the release of stored energy during maintenance or repair.
Aligned with CSA Z460 and provincial OHSA standards, this LOTO awareness course provides essential instruction on procedures for isolating mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and chemical energy. Participants will learn how to identify hazardous energy sources, follow standardized lockout procedures, use lockout devices and tags, and verify energy isolation before commencing work.
This course includes:
– Definitions of hazardous energy types
– Step-by-step lockout and tagout procedures
– Responsibilities of workers, supervisors, and employers
– Group lockout procedures and shift changes
– Requirements for written LOTO programs and audits
– Consequences of non-compliance and real-world case studies
Upon successful completion of the course and final knowledge check, learners will receive a digital certificate. This training is critical for anyone working around equipment with energy sources and is commonly required on job sites, by inspectors, and as part of internal company safety protocols.
Ideal for: electricians, millwrights, machine operators, safety officers, and maintenance technicians.
