Workers can be seriously injured or killed if machinery they service or maintain unexpectedly energizes, starts up or releases stored energy. Employers are required to develop and implement lockout/tagout procedures to protect workers who can be injured servicing or maintaining machinery.

In this course, the student will review a summary of the requirements in Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR Part 1910) for lockout/tagout procedures to protect workers servicing machinery. This course is relevant to business owners, engineers, managers, foreman and any other personnel working in industries that require the servicing and/or maintenance of machinery that can injure or kill workers if the equipment unexpectedly energizes, starts up or releases stored energy.

• Explain what polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) is, how it is made, and what it is used for.
• Describe the dangers associated with components used in the PVF production process.
• Identify the risks inherent in welding, brazing, and other hot work activities.
• Explain why checking for explosive atmospheres before hot work is important, even with seemingly benign containers, tanks, and vessels.
• Identify faulty assumptions made in the process hazard analysis (PHA) during the project's design phase.
• Analyze the errors, shortcomings, and poor decisions made in the days and weeks leading up to the accident.
