This course is based on the OSHA regulations as outlined in 29 CFR, Part 1910.147. OSHA requires that anyone who is involved in working around energy systems such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and others receive training. This two-hour course will help to satisfy the requirements for training as detailed in the OSHA regulation for those who are working in areas where Lockout programs are in place, or whose job requires them to actually do the Lockout and isolate the energy sources.

Like other courses, the course is written in a user-friendly manner with conversational language to allow you to understand the material. In addition, useful links are provided to outside sources or information including a direct link to the Remote Instructor™ who will work with you with your online course. You can contact the Remote Instructor™ to answer any questions that you have along the way. Complete your training obligation in your spare time and receive a certificate and 0.2 CEU’s.

The use of the Remote Instructor™ concept is required by OSHA for this program. They specifically mandate that a qualified Instructor be available to answer questions and with our format, you have that. Many online or video-based courses don't meet the regulations. Take advantage of our Remote Instructor™ concept and learn important lessons that will help to make you safer in your job.
