25 minutes. This short course provides you with an overview of the lock out / tag out process.
This short course provides you with an overview of the lock out / tag out process. It starts by describing what a lock out / tag out system is, detailing its purpose, and what it involves. The course then moves on to the types of hazard exposures that might require lock out / tag out, and follows this with a look at the laws associated with lock out / tag out, and the responsibilities that you, and your employer, have under these regulations.
Finally, it sets out a six-step process you need to follow to ensure a safe lock out / tag out.
This course is aimed at anyone involved with the service, repair or maintenance of machinery or equipment that can unexpectedly release hazardous energy if it is not shut down and isolated correctly. It is also relevant to the employees working alongside these people and their supervisors and managers.
Knowledge of the reasons for a Lockout / Tagout system and awareness of the dangers of not implementing correctly reduces the chances of LOTO accident occurring.
For those needing further safety training, courses such as Electrical Safety and Working Safely should be completed alongside this one. For Supervisors that want to continue to enhance their skills, courses such as Introduction to Risk Assessment or Leadership Skills would make great next steps
Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.
Questions
Buy it online and the learner gets their login straight away. If you are booking for more than one person, or for several different courses, send us the list and we will quote for the group rather than charging person by person.
It is self paced, so learners can stop and pick up where they left off. The time shown is video content and does not count thinking time on the questions.
Yes. A certificate is issued once the learner passes, and you can download records for everyone you have enrolled.
Yes, per learner and excluding VAT. Group rates are better than the published price, so ask before booking a team.
For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
Next step
Tell us what you are trying to cover and how many people need it. We will tell you which courses do the job, whether a bundle works out cheaper, and where a course on its own will not satisfy the duty you are actually under.
