Brief OutlineCode of Federal Regulation (29) 1910.147

The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout)

The Control of Hazardous Energy (lockout/tagout) refers to the placement of locks and/or tags on an energy-isolating device(s), in accordance with established procedures, to ensure that the machinery, equipment, or process cannot be energized while anyone is exposed.

This presentation, (lockout/tagout), will focus primarily on 3 platforms:AwarenessBehaviorConsequences

The aim is prevention and compliance.
