What you are going to learn

This online certification course meets the requirements for lockout/tagout safety training in the state of California. It covers important OSHA safety training standards, including an overview of the regulations, risks, and safety measures associated with the release of hazardous energy and lockout/tagout.

For employees working with machines and equipment, an unexpected machine startup or the release of stored energy from a machine-whether electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, or thermal-can result in serious injury or death. Each year, workers who are setting up, unjamming, repairing, cleaning, servicing, and adjusting equipment are killed or maimed because of the sudden energizing of equipment. Lockout/tagout procedures are designed to prevent such accidents.

Who This Course is For

Case Study: In 2006, a 43-year-old man was working on a lighting circuit that had been damaged during building renovations. He was installing temporary wiring to replace the wiring that had been damaged. He had been instructed by his supervisor, a licensed electrician, to shut-off the power to the lighting circuit at the junction box, but this had not been done and no lockout/tagout procedure had been followed. The man was electrocuted when a tool in his hand came into contact with an energized element of the circuit.

In the investigation following the man's death, it was determined that his employer had properly observed the California standards for employee safety training. This training had included lockout/tagout procedures. It was also found that the worker's circuit tester, used to verify before working that a circuit is de-energized, was in his locker.

Key Takeaways: In this incident, the employee appears to have disregarded both his training and smart work practices, and he lost his life because of this. The man's supervisor also bears responsibility, however, for his assumption that his instructions had been carried out. Working with electricity requires both employers and employees to be active participants in safety.

California's Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) sets and enforces standards pertaining to lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. These regulations can be found in Title 8 of California's Code of Regulations (CCR) in Section 3314.
