Lockout/Tagout

OSHA’s standard on the control of hazardous energy (the OSHA lockout/tagout standard) appears often on the agency’s list of most-violated standards. Lockout/tagout training and practice is crucial to keeping your employees safe and in compliance.

Employers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their employees when hazardous energy is involved. Those employees who service or maintain machines or equipment could be exposed to serious physical harm – or even death – if hazardous energy is not properly controlled. It’s up to you to comply with OSHA’s lockout/tagout standard and keep your employees safe.

OSHA estimates that 50,000 injuries can be prevented each year by proper lockout/tagout procedures.

Turn to J. J. Keller to help educate and protect your employees so they understand:

  • When and where the standard applies
  • Lock out and tag out procedures for energy control
  • The duties of authorized, affected and other employees
  • The difference between lockout and tagout

  • How to apply best practices
