EOSH UK Award in Lockout and Tag Out (LOTO) Standards

The EOSH UK Award in Lockout and Tag Out (LOTO) Standards provides essential knowledge and practical understanding of how to control hazardous energy sources in workplace environments.

Lockout and Tagout procedures are critical safety measures used to ensure that machinery and equipment are properly shut down and isolated before maintenance or servicing activities take place. Failure to implement proper LOTO procedures can result in serious injuries or fatalities caused by unexpected energization or release of stored energy.

This course explains the importance of hazardous energy control, applicable legal requirements, and safe procedures for isolating energy sources. Participants will learn how to identify risks, apply appropriate lockout devices, follow standard procedures, and maintain safe working conditions during maintenance operations.

Upon completion, learners will be able to contribute to safer workplaces by supporting proper LOTO implementation, reducing accident risks, and promoting compliance with safety standards.
