Enroll today to gain skills in evidence gathering, root cause analysis, and OHSA-compliant reporting.
This course supports anyone who services equipment, performs maintenance, or supervises work where hazardous energy is present.
Supervisors responsible for overseeing maintenance or service work and ensuring lock out tag out procedures are followed by workers or contractors.
Workers who perform repairs, servicing, or adjustments on equipment that must be isolated from energy sources.
Workers who may be exposed to equipment during servicing or shutdown activities and need awareness of lock out procedures.
Individuals responsible for establishing lock out tag out programs and ensuring compliance with safety requirements.
Equipment must be properly isolated to prevent the unexpected release of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or stored energy during servicing and maintenance.
Clear lock out procedures are required to identify energy sources, isolation points, and the steps needed to secure equipment before work begins.
Lock out must be verified before work starts, and group lock out methods must be used when multiple workers or contractors are involved.
Hazardous energy control is a key focus during Ministry of Labour inspections due to the severity of injuries associated with uncontrolled equipment start up.
Inspectors assess whether employers and supervisors have implemented effective lock out tag out procedures and whether workers understand how those procedures are applied.
Inspectors routinely check for:
Written lock out tag out procedures for equipment
Identification of energy sources and isolation points
Proper use of lock out devices and tags
Training and awareness of workers performing lock out
Supervision of maintenance and servicing activities
This course helps participants understand how lock out tag out practices are reviewed during inspections and how proper procedures support compliance.
Secure Your Future.
This course provides a Record of Training (ROT) confirming completion of Lock Out Tag Out training related to hazardous energy control.
While this is not a government issued certification, the Record of Training is commonly used by employers to document that workers and supervisors have received formal lock out tag out instruction.
Training records support employer documentation and may be requested during inspections or compliance reviews.
Uncontrolled release of energy can result in severe injury, equipment damage, and regulatory enforcement.
Providing Lock Out Tag Out training helps organizations demonstrate due diligence by ensuring workers understand isolation procedures, energy hazards, and safe work practices.
After completing this course, participants have a clearer understanding of how hazardous energy is controlled during maintenance and servicing work.
Workers leave with awareness of:
The training explained lock out steps clearly and helped me understand why each step matters before starting maintenance work.
I liked how the course focused on actual situations. It made energy isolation and verification much clearer.
This course helped clarify what proper lock out looks like and how group lock out should be handled on site.
Experts also agree this training supports effective hazardous energy control and safe lock out tag out practices in Ontario workplaces.
