• Maintenance and servicing workers in manufacturing and general industry
• Machine operators who clear jams, set up, or adjust equipment
• Industrial electricians who work on energized systems

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the OSHA Requirement?

This course is designed to deliver the lockout/tagout awareness training that supports compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, including the training required under 1910.147(c)(7). OSHA does not approve, certify, or license training providers or courses, so no course carries an OSHA approval number; instead, the employer is responsible for ensuring training meets the standard, and a certificate of completion from any provider is acceptable documentation. This awareness course does not by itself make an employee an authorized employee. Your employer must still provide the machine-specific energy control procedures for your equipment and the hands-on training that authorized employees need to apply and remove locks and tags safely.

✅ OSHA Training Requirements

The OSHA Control of Hazardous Energy standard, 29 CFR 1910.147, requires employers to train employees so that they understand the purpose and function of the energy control program and have the knowledge and skills needed for the safe application, use, and removal of energy controls. The level of training depends on whether a worker is an authorized, affected, or other employee.

• Authorized employees learn the recognition of hazardous energy, the type and magnitude of energy in the workplace, and the methods and means to isolate and control it
• Affected employees learn the purpose and use of the energy control procedure
• All other employees are instructed about the procedure and the prohibition against restarting locked-out equipment
• Training and retraining must be documented and certified by the employer
• Periodic inspection of energy control procedures is required at least annually (1910.147(c)(6))

How this course helps: This 2-hour course delivers the general lockout/tagout awareness training under 29 CFR 1910.147(c)(7), covering the hazardous energy types, definitions, and control procedures every worker around locked-out equipment should understand. Your employer adds the machine-specific energy control procedures for your equipment and the hands-on practice that authorized employees need to apply and verify energy isolation.

✅ How Often Is Retraining Required?

Under 29 CFR 1910.147, there is no fixed calendar interval for retraining. Instead, retraining is required whenever there is a change in job assignments, a change in machines, equipment, or processes that presents a new hazard, or a change in the energy control procedures. Retraining is also required whenever a periodic inspection reveals, or the employer has reason to believe, that an employee's knowledge or use of the procedures is deficient. Separately, the standard requires a periodic inspection of the energy control procedures at least annually (1910.147(c)(6)), which can surface the deficiencies that trigger retraining.

✅ How to Stay Compliant

1. Confirm with your employer whether you are an authorized, affected, or other employee for lockout/tagout.
2. Enroll online and complete this two-hour awareness course at your own pace.
3. Finish the course and receive your certificate of completion by email instantly.
4. Provide the certificate to your employer for its training records.
5. Review your employer's written energy control program and the machine-specific procedures for your equipment.
6. Complete any hands-on training required to serve as an authorized employee before applying locks or tags.
7. Retrain whenever your job, machines, or procedures change, or when a periodic inspection finds a deficiency.

✅ What You Will Learn

• The types of hazardous energy: electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, and gravitational
• The scope of 29 CFR 1910.147 and key definitions such as authorized versus affected employee and energy-isolating device
• What a written energy control program, documented procedures, and periodic inspection require
• Why lockout is preferred over tagout and how the equivalent-protection rule applies
• The six-step application sequence for isolating and controlling hazardous energy
• How to verify the zero-energy state before beginning work
• How to safely release from lockout/tagout and restore energy
• How group lockout, shift changes, testing, and outside contractors are handled

✅ Course Content Overview

The course covers the full Control of Hazardous Energy standard across two focused sections:

• Section 1: The seven types of hazardous energy and the scope of 1910.147; key definitions including authorized versus affected employee, energy-isolating device, lockout, tagout, and stored energy
• Section 1: The written energy control program covering procedures, training, and periodic inspection; why lockout is preferred over tagout and the equivalent-protection rule
• Section 1: Documented energy control procedures (1910.147(c)(4)) and lockout/tagout device requirements (1910.147(c)(5))
• Section 2: The application sequence, notify, shut down, isolate, apply devices, relieve stored energy, and verify (1910.147(d)), and verifying the zero-energy state (1910.147(d)(6))
• Section 2: Release from lockout and restoring energy (1910.147(e)); group lockout (1910.147(f)(3)); shift changes, testing or positioning, and outside contractors (1910.147(f))
