Corrective Action Training: Lockout/Tagout: Common Noncompliance Issues

OSHA identifies several common noncompliance issues under its Lockout/Tagout Standard. Sources of hazardous energy need to be controlled while employees are servicing or maintaining machines or equipment. Energy sources include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, or other hazardous energy sources harmful to workers. Understanding the common issues identified in this training will help you avoid exposure to uncontrolled energy sources in your workplace.

This Corrective Action Training module is designed to provide learners with remedial training related to common noncompliance issues when using lockout/tagout procedures. Specifically, this course was designed to remind employees the release of stored energy or unexpected startup can cause severe injury or death to workers.

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

• Understand the relationship between the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) Standard and the Machinery and Machine Guarding Standard
• Identify who is responsible for following an energy control program
• Explain group lockout/tagout procedures
• Describe what could happen if all hazardous energy sources are not identified and controlled
