Unlock the Mysteries of OSHA's Lockout/Tagout Standard

OSHA’s Lockout/Tagout (Energy Control) Standard is always one of OSHA’s most frequently cited standards, and with the “Amputations National Emphasis Program” continuing into 2018 as well as LOTO violations continuing to be considered “high emphasis hazards” that qualify employers into the Severe Violator Enforcement Program, it is critical for employers to get Lockout/Tagout right. While LOTO continues to be an important standard, it also continues to be one of the least understood. This webinar will highlight the most frequently cited aspects of the LOTO rule, explain some of the most misunderstood provisions of the rule, and forecast some potential changes to the rule and OSHA’s enforcement of it.
​Participants in this webinar will learn:
– Common mistakes employers make implementing LOTO programs, such as inadequate annual LOTO inspections and Group LOTO
– Nuances of the requirements to develop machine-specific LOTO procedures, and share them with contractors working at your site
– The mystery behind the Minor Servicing Exception
– The controversy around “unexpected energization” in OSHA’s LOTO Standard
