This training program will provide guidance on how to keep workers safe while working on or around electrically energized equipment. It will also provide preliminary guidance on how to comply with OSHA and NFPA 70E® safety standards.
This course will provide an overview of these requirements so that an employer can understand their responsibility to protect employees from hazardous energy sources on machines and equipment during service and maintenance. Hazardous energy sources include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal or other sources in equipment that can be hazardous to workers. During the servicing and maintenance of equipment, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy could cause injury to employees.
Why Should You Attend:
The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout), Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910.147 addresses the practices and procedures necessary to disable machinery or equipment that would prevent the release of hazardous energy while employees perform servicing and maintenance activities.This course will provide an overview of these requirements so that an employer can understand their responsibility to protect employees from hazardous energy sources on machines and equipment during service and maintenance.
