The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) each have a standard that outlines many guidelines and recommendations relating to The Control of Hazardous Energy.
Our LOTO Train-the-Trainer Certification Training has been carefully designed to meet and even exceed the training requirements outlined in each of these standards.
Because employers are required to comply with these standards (OSHA and ANSI/ASME in the USA and CSA in Canada), training and certifications that have been aligned with them will be seen as more valuable than those that have not been.
Practical Training Component
It’s important to note that in order to completely satisfy the requirements of the standards, workplace and equipment-specific training must be completed by the employer. These workplace training components cannot be completed by any third-party provider, whether they offer online or live training. The reason for this is that each workplace is different and poses unique hazards and equipment-specific lockout procedures. An employer is best suited to train workers on these unique circumstances that exist within their workplace and their specific equipment.
