Every year, workers are injured or killed due to unexpected machine startups or the uncontrolled release of energy. These tragedies are entirely preventable — with one key system: Lockout Tagout (LOTO).
LOTO procedures are essential in maintenance, servicing, and repair operations. They ensure equipment stays off until it's safe to work — and that everyone knows it.
At Ireland Safety Training, we provide a fully online, CPD-certified Lockout Tagout Awareness Course that helps your team understand energy control systems, their responsibilities, and how to stay safe.
Lockout Tagout is a safety procedure used to:
Isolate energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal)
Lock and tag equipment controls to prevent reactivation
Protect workers performing maintenance or repair tasks
It’s widely used in:
Manufacturing
Construction
Utilities
Facilities management
Engineering and maintenance teams
In Ireland and the UK, employers must provide safety training to control hazardous energy under:
Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 – Part 2 (Ireland)
PUWER and Electricity at Work Regulations (UK)
Failure to implement or follow LOTO procedures can result in:
Severe injuries or fatalities
Fines from HSA or HSE
Legal liability for companies and supervisors
LOTO stops machines from starting while someone is working on them.
Without it, workers are exposed to:
Unexpected machine movement
High-voltage shock or arc flash
Crushing and amputation hazards
Pressurised system releases
Even one overlooked switch or valve can be deadly.
Anyone involved in maintenance, cleaning, inspection, or supervision benefits from LOTO awareness. It builds a shared understanding of equipment status, responsibility, and safety expectations.
This course is ideal for:
Maintenance and engineering teams
Electricians and HVAC technicians
Plant and factory workers
Facilities management staff
Health & Safety Officers
Supervisors overseeing servicing activities
Modules include:
What is Lockout Tagout and why it matters
Types of hazardous energy
The six steps of the LOTO procedure
Lockout devices and tag systems
LOTO roles and responsibilities
Coordination with other teams (multi-person lockouts)
Group LOTO and shift change protocols
LOTO during equipment testing or repositioning
Visual signage and safety communication
Case studies of real-world LOTO failures
Legal obligations for employers and workers
You’ll learn through interactive videos, diagrams, and practical knowledge checks.
