Lockout/Tagout in Practice: Avoiding Pitfalls & Staying Compliant

Control of Hazardous Energy is one of OSHA’s most frequently cited standards, now ranking fourth nationally. Most facilities have a written policy and a lock board, but gaps often remain in equipment-specific procedures, energy source identification, periodic inspections, and how the program actually gets followed on the floor. Join CMI for a practical walkthrough of where LOTO programs break down and what OSHA expects to see during an inspection.

Is this webinar for me?

You have a Lockout/Tagout policy in place but aren’t certain every machine has a current, posted procedure behind it.

You need to evaluate energy source identification, group lockout, shift changes, or periodic inspections for potential gaps.

You want authorized and affected employees clear on their roles and your corrective actions prioritized before an inspection.
