Lockout and tagout training (LOTO) programs aim to teach employees the correct procedures for controlling hazardous energy sources during maintenance and servicing tasks, with the goal of preventing accidents and injuries that may occur due to unexpected machine or equipment activation.

These training sessions cover various types of hazardous energy sources that require lockout or tagout procedures, including electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical energy. Employees are taught how to identify and isolate these energy sources, as well as how to properly lock and tag equipment.

Moreover, the training also covers the process of verifying that energy sources have been safely isolated before commencing any work. This ensures that employees are fully equipped with the knowledge and skills to perform their jobs safely and effectively.
