ACS – GP USA Lockout/Tagout (Control of Hazardous Energy)

The ACS – GP USA Lockout/Tagout (Control of Hazardous Energy) Course is a professional workplace safety training program designed to help employees and supervisors understand how to control hazardous energy during maintenance and servicing activities. It focuses on preventing accidental equipment startup and the release of stored energy that can lead to serious injuries or fatalities in industrial environments.

This course provides in-depth knowledge of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, including identification of hazardous energy sources such as electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, and chemical systems. Learners are trained in proper isolation techniques, application of lockout devices, and use of tagout systems to ensure equipment is safely de-energized before work begins.

Ideal for maintenance personnel, electricians, machine operators, engineers, and safety professionals, this course aligns with OSHA standards and global safety requirements. Upon completion, participants will be able to identify energy risks, implement effective LOTO procedures, and maintain a safer, compliant workplace environment.
