The Course
This course is based on the OSHA regulations as outlined in 29 CFR, Part
1910.147. and
ANSI/ASSE
Z244.1-2003. This course will help to satisfy the
requirements for training as detailed in the OSHA regulation for those who
are working in areas where Lockout programs are in place, or whose job
requires them to actually do the Lockout and isolate the energy sources.
ANSI requires that managers of equipment requiring lockout put in place
systems which result in the safe operation of equipment which has
potentially dangerous energy containment.
The Results
Organizations that manage the safety of equipment in the workplace are
consistently able to better compete on the global stage. The participants
and their teams are better positioned to positively influence the
organization with innovative ideas and techniques that in turn produce a
higher performing organization.
The Benefits
Individuals exposed to this training will develop expertise in the
management of the control of hazardous energy through a project-based
implementation and maintaining that strategy through good management
techniques. They will learn why the best companies in the world see
Lockout/Tagout as an integral component in delivering cost effective
equipment functionality in a safe and secure manner by securing a thorough
knowledge of lockout/tagout procedures.
The Summary
This course works with ANSI & OSHA standards that establishe minimum
requirements for lockout/tagout of energy sources that could cause injury
to personnel. The purpose of these standards is to establish performance
objectives for procedures for the protection of personnel in, on, or
around machines or equipment during repair, maintenance, operation, and
associated activities, from injury due to unexpected energization,
start-up, or release of stored energy from the equipment/process. The
purpose is accomplished by affixing appropriate lockout/tagout devices to
the energy isolating devices of the machine or equipment/ process
according to specific procedures.
The Delegates
It
is recommended that all Operations, Maintenance, Engineering and technical
support staff including leadership and management attend this workshop. If
you and your company are interested in maintaining a safe, cost effective
organisation, this will be a very valuable course.
The Goals
Lockout/tagout
procedures can prevent the unexpected energizing or release of stored
energy in machines or equipment that could cause injuries. Learn when
lockout/tagout procedures are required, how to implement appropriate
policies and procedures including training and communication requirements,
protective materials and hardware, proper sequence of lockout and how to
restore equipment to service.
The Process
This workshop is designed to be a hands-on, stimulating experience. The
program is highly interactive with many discussion and facilitated
practice sessions.
