Lockout Tagout: Secure Safely is a 26-minute online course that teaches employees the procedures required to control hazardous energy during machine servicing and maintenance as mandated by OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.147. It is designed for authorized employees who perform lockout/tagout, affected employees who work near controlled equipment, and supervisors who oversee energy control programs. The course includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
Failure to properly control hazardous energy during equipment servicing causes an estimated 120 fatalities and 50,000 injuries each year in the United States. In OSHA's FY 2025 Top 10 most-cited violations, the Control of Hazardous Energy standard (29 CFR 1910.147) ranked number 4 with 2,177 citations. The most common violations involve missing written procedures, inadequate employee training, and failure to conduct annual periodic inspections. A single OSHA inspection can yield multiple citations - one per machine without a procedure, one for missing training records, and additional citations for skipped verification steps - quickly compounding an employer's financial and legal exposure.
This course trains your employees on the complete lockout/tagout process required by OSHA, from preparation and shutdown through energy isolation, lockout device application, stored energy verification, and safe removal of locks after servicing is complete. Your team will learn the differences between authorized, affected, and other employees, understand the types of hazardous energy that must be controlled (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and gravitational), and recognize the critical verification step that confirms zero-energy state before work begins.
OSHA's Control of Hazardous Energy standard (29 CFR 1910.147) requires employers to establish an energy control program with written machine-specific procedures, employee training, and annual periodic inspections. The standard ranked number 4 on OSHA's FY 2025 Top 10 most-cited violations list with 2,177 citations. The standard applies to all general industry employers whose workers service or maintain machines where unexpected energization could cause injury. Training must cover all three employee classifications: authorized employees must be trained on energy control procedures, affected employees must be trained on the purpose and use of lockout/tagout, and all other employees must be trained to recognize when procedures are in use and not to interfere. Retraining is required whenever procedures change, new hazards are introduced, or periodic inspections reveal deficiencies. Serious violations carry penalties of up to $16,550, while willful or repeated violations can reach $165,514. An employer with multiple machines lacking written procedures could face over $165,000 in penalties from a single inspection.
