Lockout Tagout Regulations around the World | LOTO Guru

Hello Friends! The wait is over, and we are back with another important video on Lockout Tagout!

Now that we have all become more informed with the aid of the first four episodes, let's dive deep into a topic on which we get loads of questions asked - Lockout Tagout Regulations around the World.

In this video, our LOTO Guru explains the different regulations and legislations regarding Lockout Tagout and several significant international and national initiatives that relate to the control of hazardous energies.

Despite elaborate recommendations and audits, fatalities continue, and their severities range from mild shocks and missing fingers to lost lives.

When hazardous energies at work are not controlled, they present a massive risk to employees on the one hand and facilities on the other hand.

OSHA Lockout Tagout Standard 1910.147(c) - Employee Retraining

While the employer is required to provide effective training for all employees covered by the LOTO standard, under section (c)(7)(iii) Retraining must be provided to all the authorized as well as affected employees depending upon the circumstances mentioned above.

There are three types of employees which must receive Training & Retraining: authorized, affected, and other. The amount and type of training/retraining that each employee receives is based upon the relationship of that employee's job to the machine and upon the degree of knowledge relevant to hazardous energies.

In addition, retraining must be conducted if an inspection reveals a lack of understanding of LOTO procedures by the employees. This is called Additional Retraining.

Whenever a periodic inspection discloses any deviations or inadequacies in the employees' understanding, additional retraining becomes mandatory.

Under section (c)(7)(iv) Employers are required to certify that effective training and retraining has been provided to all employees covered by the standard. The certification must contain each employee's name and dates of training.

Lockout Tagout - Training and Communication

Training is one of the most important steps in the process of Lockout Tagout, needed to provide employees with knowledge, skills and motivation to effectively implement a successful Lockout Tagout program. OSHA instructs in Standard 1910.147 with respect to employees training states that - Training must ensure that the purpose and function of the energy control program are understood by employees.

As a basic requirement, all employees should be trained in the basis of Lockout Tagout. Through this training, all employees should understand the purpose, function, and restrictions of the Energy Control Program. The training needed by each employee should be provided initially upon assignment. For the purpose of the standard, three types of employees that require training are recognized - Authorized, Affected, and Other. Under section (c)(7)(i)(A) Each authorized employee must be trained enough to recognize the applicable Hazardous Energy sources, the type & magnitude of the energy available in the workplace, the methods & means necessary for energy isolation & control. Under section (c)(7)(i)(B) Affected employees must be instructed in the purpose and use of the energy control procedure. Employees who exclusively perform functions related to normal production operations and who perform servicing and/or maintenance under the protection of normal machine safeguarding need only be trained as affected employees even if tagout procedures are used.

Under section (c)(7(i)(C) This group consists of anyone else who works in an area where LOTO procedures are used. All of these employees must be instructed about the procedure, and trained not to start locked or tagged equipment, and not to remove or ignore lockout tagout devices.
