Energy Isolation and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Awareness

A visual, plain-English introduction to controlling hazardous energy when plant and equipment is serviced. Learn the energy sources that injure people, how locks and personal danger tags work, the standard isolate-and-verify sequence and how group lockout and permit systems control higher-risk jobs - as paced slides with diagrams, a real maintenance decision scenario and quick self-checks. Awareness level: it explains the principles but does not authorise you to isolate plant.

Also relevant for: Farm and Rural, Manufacturing and Industrial, Mining and FIFO, Warehouse, Transport and Logistics
