LOTO

Lockout/Tag out (LOTO) Safety Training course is designed to offer employees the knowledge and skills required to control hazardous energy during maintenance, servicing, or repair tasks. One of the main reasons for workplace fatalities and injuries is the unintentional activation of machinery and equipment. This course addresses that critical risk in effectively implementing energy isolation procedures. Participants will learn to identify various hazardous energy sources such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, and thermal and apply LOTO systems to prevent unexpected start up or release. This course covers legal obligations under Indian safety regulations, introduces standard LOTO devices, and clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of authorized, affected, and competent personnel. Case studies and step-by-step application techniques ensures that participants gain both theoretical understanding and practical competence.

Why should Employers Invest in this Training?

  • Prevent life -altering incidents: Loto violations are among the leading causes of severe injuries and fatalities. This training directly reduces the risk of electrocution, crushing, and amputation during equipment maintenance.
  • Minimize Downtime & Operational Disruptions: Trained personnel follow standardized isolation procedures, preventing equipment damage, unscheduled breakdowns, and production halts.
  • Ensure Legal Compliance & Avoid Penalties: Helps organizations align with Indian safety regulations (Factories Act, Indian Electricity Rules), minimizing legal liabilities and penalties from statutory bodies.
  • Boost Safety Culture & Workforce Accountability: Becomes more safety-conscious, proactive, and responsible driving long-term improvements in organizational safety performance.
  • Protect Equipment and Infrastructure: Application of LOTO safeguards not just people but also expensive machinery and assets from accidental damage or malfunction.
  • Reduce Insurance Premiums & Compensation : Claims fewer incidents mean fewer claims enhancing insurability and reducing the financial burden of workplace compensation or loss recovery.

Training Objective

Lockout/Tag out (LOTO) Safety Training is developed with the intention to help participants gain confidence and hand on skills to safely control hazardous energy at the workplace. Through examples, participants will learn how to identify different types of energy risks, use LOTO devices correctly, and follow step-by-step procedures before any maintenance or servicing work begins. This training makes sure that everyone understands their responsibilities under Indian safety laws, and can follow it properly through documentation, and communicate clearly with their teams. By the end of the session, participants will be fully prepared to apply LOTO practices effectively even in challenging situations like group tasks, shift changes, or when something goes wrong, therefore creating a safer and more responsible work environment for all.
