Why Workers and Employers Choose Safety First Training
For Canadian workers, supervisors, and employers who may use or be affected by locked-out machinery.
Machinery that looks switched off can still hold enough stored energy to kill, and every year workers are seriously injured when equipment starts up unexpectedly. This course guides you through the essential Lockout/Tagout procedures required by Canadian standards, so you understand both the risks of hazardous energy and the steps to control it. You'll learn about the different types of hazardous energy, the roles and responsibilities of everyone in the workplace, and how to develop and implement a compliant program — gaining the confidence to keep yourself and your coworkers safe while meeting CSA Z460 requirements.
Controlling Hazardous Energy Is a Shared Responsibility
Employers are required to develop a lockout/tagout program, provide machine-specific energy-control procedures and devices, and train and authorize the workers who perform the work. Workers, in turn, are expected to follow the procedures exactly, use their assigned locks and tags, and never bypass another worker's lockout.
