Authorized and Affected Employee Training
"Authorized " students will be given much
more detail and hands-on exercises regarding Energy Control Procedures
This training session will ensure that the students understand the
potential for exposure and their liability and responsibility as
it relates to the company's Lockout Tagout Program. Individuals
who participate in this training will be given a comprehensive overview
of the Standard, your written policies and procedures and how energized
machines and equipment affect their daily activities. Key points
that will be cover in this course include:
1. The control of hazardous energy must be done according to
a six-step procedure:
• Preparation for shutdown
• Equipment shutdown
• Equipment isolation
• Application of lockout tagout devices
• Control of stored energy
• Equipment-isolation verification
2. Before removing the lock:
• Make sure equipment is safe
• Conduct a head count
• Notify all affected personnel that lockout is being
removed
3. Special situations to be aware of:
• Outside contractors
• Temporarily reactivating equipment
• Servicing that lasts more than one shift
• Removal of lockout by personnel who did not apply it
Participants will receive materials/handouts needed to assist in
subject retention. Class will last approximately 1 hour for "Affected"
personnel and 2 hours for an introduction to "Authorized"
personnel. The session for "Authorized" individuals can
last many hours when specific energy controls procedures are being
discussed and explained. The session may consist of lecture, handouts,
powerpoint and video presentation.

1. Conduct an Evaluation of potential energy
sources your employees may be exposed
