About the course
What this course covers.
A machine that starts up while someone is servicing it is one of the most predictable and most preventable causes of serious injury and death. Lockout and tagout isolates a hazardous energy source and renders it inoperative before maintenance or servicing begins, so the energy cannot be released unexpectedly. This course trains a worker to do it properly.
The course is presented in four chapters: LOTO roles and responsibilities, the hazardous forms of energy, developing LOTO procedures, and locking out and tagging out equipment. A worker learns to explain the purpose of LOTO and when it should be used, describe the difference between primary and stored forms of energy, recognise examples of LOTO devices, and carry out the basic steps of performing LOTO. It follows the CSA standards Z462 Workplace Electrical Safety and Z460-13 Control of Hazardous Energy. A final exam confirms the knowledge.
Companies use the course to train any worker who works around potentially dangerous equipment, and to give a documented training record an auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
The steps for applying and removing locks are covered in the right order. New maintenance workers finish this knowing the sequence is not optional.
Ron P.
Maintenance Supervisor
Clear on the energy control program and the forms of hazardous energy. It is the training our auditor expects to see documented.
Christine M.
Safety Coordinator
Good, focused course. The periodic-inspection requirement is something a lot of workers do not know about until they take this.
Tyler H.
Industrial Electrician

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
A mark of 80 percent earns the certificate, and the course can be repeated twice if the pass mark is not met on the first attempt. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion.
- Fully online and self-paced - about 75 minutes of content across four chapters
- Follows the CSA Z462 and Z460-13 standards
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
- Pass mark is 80 percent, with up to three attempts
Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety legislation requires that hazardous energy is controlled before equipment is serviced, and CSA Z460 sets the practice for an energy control program. This course gives workers lockout and tagout training and the documented record a COR auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.
