Lockout & Tagout Safety Training in-person or Online
At KARM Safety Solutions, we know that controlling hazardous energy is critical to preventing serious injuries during equipment maintenance and servicing. Our Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) training is designed to give employees the practical knowledge and skills they need to safely isolate energy sources and perform their work with confidence. This OSHA-aligned training helps employers meet the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 while creating a safer, more compliant workplace for everyone.
Why is Lockout/Tagout Training Essential?
Lockout/Tagout procedures are critical for protecting workers from the dangers of hazardous energy during equipment servicing and maintenance. Without proper training, employees face serious risks such as unexpected startup, electrical shock, crushing injuries, amputations, or even fatalities. OSHA requires employers to implement lockout/tagout procedures and provide training to ensure workers understand how to control hazardous energy safely and consistently.
Our Lockout/Tagout awareness training teaches employees the essential steps for safely shutting down equipment, isolating energy sources, and applying locks and tags before maintenance or servicing begins. Through practical instruction, employees learn how to recognize hazardous energy, follow proper procedures, and work with confidence—reducing the risk of injuries, downtime, and OSHA violations.
Key Components of Lockout Tagout Safety Training
The Lockout/Tagout training program at KARM Safety Solutions is designed to give employees a clear understanding of how to safely control hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance activities. The course focuses on practical, real-world procedures employees need to follow to reduce risk and stay compliant with OSHA requirements.
Employees begin by learning how to recognize different types of hazardous energy, including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic energy, and why these energy sources pose serious risks if not properly controlled during maintenance work. Understanding where hazardous energy exists is the foundation of effective lockout/tagout practices.
The training then walks employees through proper lockout/tagout procedures, including how to shut down equipment, isolate energy sources, apply locks and tags correctly, and verify that energy has been fully controlled before work begins. These steps help prevent unexpected startup or energy release that could result in serious injury.
Clear roles and responsibilities are also covered so employees understand how lockout/tagout applies to their job duties. The training explains the differences between authorized employees, affected employees, and other personnel who may work around locked-out equipment, ensuring everyone understands their responsibilities and limitations.
Personal protective equipment requirements are reviewed to help employees understand when PPE is required and how it supports overall safety during lockout/tagout operations. This includes common protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection, and other task-specific safety gear.
Finally, the training addresses emergency response procedures, ensuring employees know what actions to take if something goes wrong. This includes how to report issues, respond to unexpected energy release, and take immediate steps to protect themselves and others from further harm.
Lockout / Tagout Training Certificate: Proof of Compliance
Once employees successfully complete the lockout & tagout training program, they will receive a lockout & tagout training certificate. This certificate proves that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to safely follow lockout/tagout procedures. Certification not only demonstrates compliance with OSHA regulations but also highlights the commitment to workplace safety.
