Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Lockout/Tagout Blockout

Why Should You Take This Lockout/Tagout Blockout Course?

The purpose of this class is to familiarize employees with the Lockout/Tagout/Blockout processes and to establish safe working practices. Lockout/Tagout/Blockout means that any energy source, whether electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, compressed air, or any other source that might cause unexpected movement, must be disengaged or blocked and electrical sources must be de-energized and locked or positively sealed in the OFF position for worker safety.

Lockout/Tagout/Blockout training is required for all workers involved in or around machines that are required to be locked and tagged out for safety purposes. Our program meets all of the OSHA requirements for Lockout/Tagout/Blockout Training.

Topics To Be Covered Include:

• Written Lockout/Tagout program to address the assignment of responsibilities and safety procedures.
• Lockout/Tagout/Blockout Terminology
• How to prepare for the lockout process
• How to safely release stored energy
• Proper locking and tagging procedures
• Proper testing and restart of equipment
• Review of OSHA Compliance References - scope and application
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and identification/labeling system

Compliance Reference: T8 CCR 3314 and 29 CFR 1910.147

Please Note:  One constant in OSHA law is that all employees are to be trained on the hazards of their jobs before they start work (HAZCOM). A Contractor selects specific training based on the needs of his workers and the potential hazards on site.
