Both the Working at Heights Basic Theory module and the Working at Heights Practical Equipment Module are becoming mandatory for workers in the construction industry who use travel restraint systems, fall arrest systems or safety nets as a source of protection against fall hazards. This particular course has not yet been mandated or approved as the official Ministry of Labor course as the NEW standard has yet to be officially released. All workers will be given adequate time to receive the training in order to meet industry standard.

The Working at Heights Basic Theory module contains the following:

• Rights and responsibilities related to working at heights under the Occupational Health and Safety Act in Ontario
• General hazard recognition for working at heights,
• Hierarchy of controls,
• Safety procedures for warning methods and physical barriers,
• Safety procedures for ladders and similar equipment; and
• An introduction to personal fall protection equipment.

COURSE 14: LOCKOUT TAG OUT

Course Details & Objectives

Lockout is defined in the Canadian standard CSA Z460-05 (R2010) “Control of Hazardous Energy – Lockout and Other Methods” as the “placement of a lock or tag on an energy-isolating device in accordance with an established procedure, indicating that the energy-isolating device is not to be operated until removal of the lock or tag in accordance with an established procedure”.

Lockout is one way to control hazardous energy. In practice, lockout is the isolation of energy from the system (a machine, equipment, or process) which physically locks the system in a safe mode. The energy-isolating device can be a manually operated disconnect switch, a circuit breaker, a line valve, or a block (Note: push buttons, selection switches and other circuit control switches are not considered energy-isolating devices). In most cases, these devices will have loops or tabs which can be locked to a stationary item in a safe position (de-energized position). The locking device (or lockout device) can be any device that has the ability to secure the energy-isolating device in a safe position.

Tag out is a labelling process that is always used when lockout is required. The process of tagging out a system involves attaching or using an indicator (usually a standardized label) that includes the following information:

• Why the lockout/tag out is required (repair, maintenance, etc.).
• Time of application of the lock/tag.
• The name of the authorized person who attached the tag and lock to the system.

IMPORTANT: ONLY the authorized individual who placed the lock and tag onto the system is the one who is permitted to remove them. This procedure helps make sure the system cannot be started up without the authorized individual’s knowledge.
