Introduction
Welcome to the online Energy Control Program course, focusing on Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) standard, 29 CFR 1910.147. This course is designed to provide participants with a solid foundation in understanding and implementing effective energy control measures to ensure the safety of workers during maintenance, repair, or servicing activities.
The control of hazardous energy is a critical aspect of workplace safety, as it protects employees from unexpected startup or release of energy that could lead to severe injuries or even fatalities. By following the guidelines outlined in 29 CFR 1910.147, employers and employees can work together to create a secure environment and prevent accidents related to energy sources.
Throughout this course, you will explore the key components of the Energy Control Program, commonly known as Lockout/Tagout. We will cover topics such as the purpose and scope of the program, identifying and assessing energy hazards, implementing proper lockout/tagout procedures, conducting effective training, and maintaining compliance with OSHA regulations.
Our online content will provide you with engaging modules, scenarios, quizzes, practical examples, and a final exam to enhance your understanding and application of the concepts learned. Whether you are a safety professional, supervisor, maintenance technician, or any individual responsible for workplace safety, this course will equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills to implement a robust Energy Control Program aligned with 29 CFR 1910.147.
By the end of this course, you will have the tools to establish a culture of safety, effectively control hazardous energy sources, and mitigate the risks associated with maintenance and service activities. Join us on this online learning journey to enhance your expertise in the Energy Control Program (Lockout/Tagout) as specified by 29 CFR 1910.147 and contribute to a safer work environment for yourself and your colleagues.
