Training – Lockout Tagout System – Safety During Machine Repairs and Maintenance

Training Objective

Every machine is powered by a potentially hazardous energy source. Each of these energies can cause a hazardous situation during normal operation, as well as during service or maintenance work. To protect employees during work performed on the machine, technical safety measures, such as disconnecting from power sources, should be implemented to prevent unintentional startup.

The training objective is to present technical measures for safely isolating power sources and labeling the machine, as well as proper management, i.e., the Lockout Tagout (LOTO) system.

Target Audience

This training is intended for employees directly working with the machines, maintenance personnel, technical staff, electricians, occupational health and safety personnel, as well as technical management and production managers.
