Lock Out Tag Out

Introduction

Ensuring the safety of workers when working on electrical machines and electrical installations is of the utmost importance.

Many industrial accidents are caused by the unexpected energisation or start up of machines or equipment or by the uncontrolled release of energy.

These accidents can be prevented by proper Lock out/Tag out procedures.

Current regulations ‘Provision and Use of Work Equipment 1998, Section 19 Energy’ and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, Regulation 13’ are designed to prevent deaths and serious injuries to service and maintenance personnel by controlling unauthorised or accidental use of energy.

This course is designed to cover the practical side of lock out / tag out in order to comply with current legislation. If possible, scenarios from client’s current work activities will be discussed.
