Lockout / Tagout Training — Frequently Asked Questions

What OSHA standard does lockout/tagout training cover?

Our lockout/tagout videos teach the concepts in OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.147, the Control of Hazardous Energy. The standard requires employers to establish energy-control procedures and train employees to safely shut down, isolate, and de-energize machinery before service or maintenance.

Who needs lockout/tagout training?

Authorized employees who lock or tag out equipment to perform servicing or maintenance must be trained in full, and affected employees who operate or work near that equipment must be trained to recognize energy-control procedures. Training is the employer’s responsibility.

How often is lockout/tagout retraining required?

OSHA requires retraining whenever there is a change in job assignment, machinery, or energy-control procedures, or when a periodic inspection reveals deficiencies. 1910.147 also requires an annual periodic inspection of each energy-control procedure.

What is included in the lockout/tagout training kit?

Each kit can be purchased in USB or DVD format in English or Spanish and includes everything needed for in-house training: a full-length safety video, a presenter’s guide, a PowerPoint, a trainee quiz, and certificates of completion.
