The course objective is to instill upon the Production, Engineering & Maintenance Department the knowledge of the danger and hazardous in servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment during the unexpected start up or release of energized equipment which may injure an employee. Very often when servicing electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical or other energized equipment in the factory, the employee(s) is required to be inside or near the area or placing equipment inside the machine, there is a great risk of bodily injury if Lockout /Tagout procedures are not in place. However LOTO extends beyond machineries in Chemical Plants. Chemical spillages need to be considered.
