COURSE DESCRIPTION
Workers servicing or maintaining machines or equipment may obtain serious or fatal injuries if hazardous energy is not properly controlled. In this training, participants will learn the OSHA Lock, Tag, Try standards which require the adoption and implementation of practices and procedures to shut down equipment, isolate it from its energy source(s), and prevent the release of potentially hazardous energy while maintenance and servicing activities are being performed. 

This lesson for authorized employees enables them to identify and establish a means of control to prevent the release of stored energy or the unintentional energizing/starting of machinery or equipment which could harm employees. This program establishes performance requirements for the control of hazardous energy.

• Recognize the importance of best practices for the most effective lock, tag and try program implementation and operation;
• How to apply the lock, tag and try program at your facility;
