Free Lockout/Tagout training, online and self-paced
Learn how hazardous energy is controlled before service and maintenance work — isolate, lock, tag and verify zero energy. Free to study at your own pace; certificates and training records come through EHSTEC LMS.
Control hazardous energy before you reach into a machine
- The hazard: how stored or unexpectedly released energy — electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal — causes crushing, amputation and electrocution during service and maintenance.
- The sequence: prepare for shutdown, shut the machine down, isolate the energy, apply locks and tags, release stored energy, then verify zero energy before work begins.
- Group lockout, shift changes, and the difference between an authorized and an affected employee — and why a tag alone is a warning, not an isolating device.
What the course does — and what stays with your employer
This course builds awareness of the control-of-hazardous-energy standard and how lockout/tagout works. It does not replace your employer’s written energy-control program, the machine-specific procedures for the equipment you work on, or the hands-on verification that makes someone an authorized employee on that equipment.

These are hazard-awareness and workplace-training courses. They are not OSHA Outreach Training Program courses and do not result in a DOL card, which only an OSHA-authorized trainer can issue. Completing a course supports your employer’s compliance with the standard it covers; it does not by itself make anyone authorized, competent or certified to operate equipment.
