Course Completion Requirements

Participant Must Provide

  • a photo identification on the first day of class. See the Participant Handbook for approved forms of identification and additional guidelines.

Attendance Requirements

TEEX and the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) have an attendance policy that requires participants to fully attend an enrolled class in its entirety (100% of the course). We realize that extenuating circumstances may arise that would take a participant out of class and have a policy to handle those situations. If a participant misses less than 20% of the class, he/she may be able to perform makeup work equivalent to the class time missed. If 20% or more of the class is missed, the participant may attend a makeup course upon approval by TEEX’s OTI Education Center Director.

It is recommended, but not required, students complete the Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry (OSH511) training class and have an understanding of individual company energy sources, maintenance, repair, and machine operations. If an Energy Control Program exists, participants should be familiar with all related policies. 

Upon successful completion, you will be able to:

  • Explain, in detail, what activities are considered covered by OSHA’s 1910.147 Subpart J (lockout/tagout).
  • Develop and implement an energy control program for their workplaces.
  • Identify and discuss violations of lockout/tagout requirements as represented in the examples.

Suggested Audience

This course is designed for personnel engaged in the use, supervision, and maintenance of workplace equipment and machinery.
