What’s the Webinar About?
The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) under 29 CFR 1910.147 continues to be one of OSHA’s most frequently cited standards. Each year, injuries and fatalities occur when hazardous energy is not properly controlled during service and maintenance activities. A strong lockout/tagout program is critical for protecting workers and ensuring compliance.
This webinar will provide practical guidance on when and how LOTO applies, how to develop and maintain compliant procedures, and what employers can do to build a culture of energy control safety.
Who Should Attend: Operations & Facility Managers, Plant Managers, Construction Site Managers and Supervisors, EHS Specialists and Representatives, Security Managers, and Human Resources Managers. Feel free to invite your colleagues!
We Will Discuss:
- Common Mistakes & When LOTO Applies
Frequent pitfalls that lead to incidents or citations, and how to determine when lockout/tagout is required versus routine operations. - Recognizing Hazardous Energy Sources

- Procedures & Training Essentials
How to develop, review, and maintain written procedures, and ensure authorized and affected employees are properly trained. - Best Practices for Strong Programs
