LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) training is designed to teach workers how to safely control hazardous energy during the maintenance and servicing of machinery and equipment. The course emphasizes the importance of isolating energy sources to prevent accidental startup, which could result in serious injury or fatality. Participants will learn the proper procedures for locking and tagging out equipment, ensuring that machinery is safely de-energized before any work begins. The training covers the identification of various energy sources, such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic, and how to effectively isolate them. It also highlights compliance with industry regulations and standards to prevent hazardous energy accidents. Upon completion, participants will be equipped to implement LOTO procedures effectively and maintain a safe working environment.

This qualification is evaluated using assessments and Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ). To receive this qualification, the learner must pass both tests with a certain percentage.

The qualification has recommended course duration of 4-5 days.
Note: However the course duration may be increased to meet additional learning needs if required but not reduced.
