Adapt recognised practice on maintenance lockout and tagout to local constraints without hollowing it out.
Building Safe Lockout and Tagout Protocols During Maintenance Work
Turn maintenance lockout and tagout from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on maintenance lockout and tagout in good years and paid for in bad ones. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in lockout and tagout that were visible long before the incident. This programme builds the engineering and maintenance work discipline from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting maintenance lockout and tagout and under-invest in testing it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work and supervised application. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting lockout and tagout, ready to be adapted internally. It suits anyone whose decisions touch maintenance lockout and tagout, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for lockout and tagout rather than a set of notes.
