Employee Training

Lockout Tagout and Contact Release

Employers are required to provide effective Lockout/Tagout training for all authorized, affected, and other employees covered by OSHAs lockout/tagout standard and ensure that all employees understand the purpose, function, and restrictions of the energy control program. Authorized employees must possess the knowledge and skills necessary for recognition of applicable hazardous energy sources, the type and magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, and the methods and means necessary for energy isolation and control. Affected employees and all other employees are required to recognize when energy control procedures are being used, understand the purpose of the procedure, and understand the critical importance of not attempting to start up or use equipment that has been locked out or tagged out. We can assist you in maintaining LOTO training compliance for new hires as well as employees that must be retrained due to changes in procedure, new equipment, processes, or deficiencies as mandated by NFPA 70E 110.4 (B)(1) & (B)(2).

NFPA 70E

NFPA 70E is updated on a 3-year cycle, and to ensure Employees are always up to date on safe work practices and NFPA 70E updates, they are required to undergo retraining every three years. Training is also required when new equipment is added, job responsibilities change, or employee monitoring indicate deficiencies. This ensures that employees stay well-informed about safety practices and any modifications to safety standards.
