The focus of this program is controlling hazardous energy sources, or lockout/tagout. Everywhere we look we are surrounded by energy such as high-pressure steam, electricity, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and the force of gravity, all of which are critical to the operation of our facility. Every form of energy, however, can also be highly dangerous unless treated with respect and controlled properly. Understanding and controlling these hazardous energy sources in the workplace is critical to remaining safe while performing our many tasks each day. Topics include types of energy sources, the company energy control plan, common lockout situations and authorized and affected employees. Lockout/tagout devices, lockout procedures and controlling energy in special situations are also covered in this video.
