EMPLOYEE TRAINING: We can provide the Authorized Person training as well as the Affected and Other Personnel training on Lockout/Energy Control.
The Authorized Person training is tailored to ensure that the purpose and function of the energy control program are understood by the personnel and that the knowledge and skills required for the safe application, usage, and removal of the energy controls are acquired by attendees.
Each authorized employee receives training in the 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. We accomplish this typically by providing a classroom style training followed-up hands-on in the field review of the procedures and proper lockout methodology using the procedures, locks, tags, lockout hardware, and other items as needed.
Each Affected person is instructed on the the purpose and use of the energy control procedure and all other employees whose work operations are or may be in the area where energy control procedures may be utilized, will be instructed about the procedure, and about the prohibition relating to attempts to restart or re-energized machines or equipment which are locked-out.
- It is also important to note that retraining is required for all authorized and affected employees whenever there is a change in their job assignments, a change in machines, equipment or processes that present a new hazard, or when there is a change in the energy control procedures.
