Lockout Tagout (LOTO) is a critical safety procedure that helps prevent unexpected startup of equipment and machinery, which can cause serious injury or death. OSHA requires that employers establish a LOTO program to protect employees from these hazards. This course provides the knowledge and skills necessary to safely perform maintenance, repair, and servicing of equipment and machinery.
Proper isolation and verification are what keep maintenance safe.
Unexpected startup of equipment and machinery can cause serious injury or death — locks, tags, and verification are what prevent it.
