This 6-hour Lockout Tagout Training course is designed around those OSHA expectations. Participants learn how to identify energy sources, apply energy-isolating devices, control stored energy, and verify zero-energy conditions using disciplined, repeatable procedures. This course emphasizes preparation and notification, proper isolation, lockout and tag application, dissipation of stored energy, verification, and safe restoration.
By connecting regulatory requirements with practical field behavior, the course ensures workers do not rely on assumptions or habits, but on structured energy control discipline that supports compliance, safety, and operational reliability.
Why Lockout Tagout Training Matters
Lockout tagout training is required because hazardous energy injuries rarely occur from equipment failure. They occur when workers believe isolation has been achieved, even though it has not. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, CSA Z460, and NFPA 70E require organizations to control hazardous energy through disciplined procedures, not assumptions.
This instruction exists to ensure workers understand how energy behaves, where stored energy hides, and how verification prevents catastrophic errors. Effective LOTO training protects workers, strengthens compliance, and improves operational reliability.

Learning Outcomes
By completing this LOTO Training course, participants will be able to:
• Identify hazardous energy sources and evaluate their type and magnitude
• Apply energy isolation correctly across machines or equipment
• Select and use lockout and tagout devices properly
• Control stored energy
• Verify zero-energy conditions before servicing
• Restore equipment safely after maintenance
• Understand OSHA and CSA compliance responsibilities
Course Focus
This course focuses on the practical application of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 and CSA Z460 requirements within real energy control programs. Participants learn how lockout tagout systems operate within hazardous energy control programs and how periodic inspection findings, equipment changes, and procedural drift affect compliance.
Lockout Tagout Procedure Primer (Classification Support)
OSHA-aligned lockout tagout training follows a structured sequence:
Preparation, notification, isolation, dissipation, verification, maintenance, and controlled restoration.
These steps are taught in a practical field context so workers understand how procedures apply to real machines, not simplified examples. Procedural reference is available in our Lockout Tagout Procedure guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who must receive LOTO training?
Authorized, affected, and other employees exposed to hazardous energy.
How often is retraining required?
When procedures change, deficiencies are found, or at least annually for authorized employees.
Does this course meet OSHA and CSA requirements?
Yes. The course aligns with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 and CSA Z460 training obligations.
