Know What You’re Working With. Protect Your Team.
Unexpected equipment startup or the release of stored energy can be fatal. As part of GMG EnviroSafe’s In-Person Training Service, our Lockout/Tagout (Authorized Employee) training equips your team with the skills and legal knowledge to safely isolate machinery, apply lockout devices, and verify zero-energy states before servicing begins. This hands-on training ensures authorized employees meet OSHA requirements and return home safe, every shift.
What's Included
This instructor-led program gives your team the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lock out equipment correctly, every time. Each topic is tailored to your machinery and compliant with OSHA’s Control of Hazardous Energy standard (1910.147).
Understanding Hazardous Energy
Learn to identify all energy sources: electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and stored energy.
Roles in the LOTO Program
Understand responsibilities of authorized, affected, and other personnel under your company’s written plan.
LOTO Procedures Step-by-Step
Receive detailed instruction on how to isolate energy, apply devices, and verify zero-energy conditions.
Device Selection & Use
Practice using locks, tags, hasps, valve covers, and switch blockers correctly and safely.
Group Lockout Procedures
Learn proper use of lockboxes and protocols for multi-person servicing or maintenance tasks.
Restoring Equipment to Service
Follow required steps to remove devices, inspect systems, and restart equipment safely.
Incident Prevention & Case Studies
Examine real incidents and learn how following procedures helps prevent injury or death.
Who Is This Service For
For Employees Who Lock Out Equipment for Service or Maintenance
This training is required for “authorized employees” responsible for applying energy isolation and lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. Common roles include maintenance technicians, electricians, machine operators, and mechanics in manufacturing, automotive, facilities, and warehouse environments. If your employees are responsible for servicing or maintaining machinery, this course is not optional, it’s essential.

Why It Matters
LOTO Violations Are Among OSHA’s Most Cited and Most Dangerous
Failure to properly lock out machinery is a leading cause of workplace fatalities and amputations. OSHA’s Control of Hazardous Energy standard (1910.147) requires all authorized employees to be trained in applying, verifying, and removing lockout/tagout devices. GMG ensures your team understands not just the what, but the how, why, and when of safe energy control.
