Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO)

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) is a workplace safety course that teaches participants how to safely isolate, lock, tag, verify, and restore hazardous energy before maintenance, inspection, cleaning, repair, or adjustment work. The course covers hazardous energy sources, isolation procedures, verification, group lockout, shift changes, contractor coordination, and emergency situations.

1-Day Training Programme
Time: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Target Participants

• Authorized and affected employees
• Maintenance personnel and technicians
• Supervisors and managers
• Engineers and operational teams
• Safety and Health Committee representatives
• Contractors involved in maintenance or equipment-related work

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Identify different types of hazardous energy, including electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, chemical, gravitational, and stored energy.
• Understand why stopping equipment is not the same as energy isolation.
• Follow the correct LOTO sequence from preparation and shutdown through verification and restoration.
• Apply locks, tags, isolation devices, and other energy-control measures correctly.
• Verify zero-energy/safe conditions before work begins.
• Understand responsibilities of authorized and affected employees.
• Recognise requirements for group lockout, shift changes, contractors, and multiple energy sources.
• Identify situations requiring additional planning or escalation.

Why It’s Worth Attending

• Helps prevent unexpected equipment startup and hazardous energy release.
• Provides a clear, systematic approach to energy isolation.
• Strengthens employees’ ability to recognise and control potentially life-threatening energy hazards.
• Improves coordination between maintenance, operations, supervisors, and contractors.
• Provides practical understanding through simulated LOTO exercises, where applicable.
• Supports compliance with organisational LOTO procedures and equipment-specific requirements.
• Can be customised to the client’s workplace, equipment, procedures, and operational requirements.

Assessment & Certification

• Assessment may include knowledge checks, scenario-based exercises, energy-source identification, and practical LOTO demonstrations.
• Participants may be required to demonstrate the correct isolation, lockout, verification, and restoration sequence.
• Successful participants may receive a Certificate of Completion/Achievement, subject to the training provider’s requirements.
• Training should be aligned with the organisation’s written LOTO procedures, equipment-specific instructions, and applicable legal requirements.
