Isolation and Lockout
Course description:
Personnel conducting maintenance and repair operations on machinery and equipment are exposed to possible injury from the unexpected start-up of the equipment, or the release of stored energy in the equipment. The purpose of a Lockout program is to prevent injury to individuals from the unintended release of energy. The Lockout program requires the use of specific safety procedures to shut down, isolate, prevent the release of stored energy, and to bring the equipment back on-line. This course will help ensure that employees understand the concepts and methods for isolating and locking out equipment.
