Lockout/Tagout FAQs
Q: How often should employees be trained on LO/TO?
A: According to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) regulations in the United States, employees should be trained on lockout/tagout procedures at least annually, or whenever there are changes in job assignments, equipment, or procedures that present new hazards or risks. Additionally, retraining should be provided whenever there is evidence that an employee lacks understanding or proficiency in lockout/tagout procedures, or when there are changes in regulations or company policies related to lockout/tagout. Regular refresher training ensures that employees maintain their knowledge and skills, promoting ongoing safety in the workplace.
Q: Do different states have different Lockout/Tagout requirements?
A: Yes, it’s possible for states to have their own lockout/tagout requirements that may differ from federal regulations set by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in the United States. Some states may have their own occupational safety and health agencies that establish regulations for workplace safety, including lockout/tagout procedures. These state regulations might have additional requirements or standards beyond what is mandated at the federal level. Employers are responsible for understanding and complying with both federal and state regulations to ensure the safety of their workers. It’s important for employers to consult the specific regulations applicable to their state and industry to ensure full compliance.
