Included in this mutimedia training programme This lockout/tagout (LOTO) and isolation course is developed for both novice and experienced operators who may be required to assume lockout/tagout responsibilities during the course of their daily activities in the working environment.

Learners will, upon completion of the training programme, be able to identify the legal issues involved in working with dangerous machinery; understand what is meant by lockout/tag out and isolation procedures; know which responsibilities are apportioned to which role-players for the standards to function properly; know what elements are required in order for the systems to function and know the various lockout/tag out and isolation procedures.

Entry requirements

Grade 10 certificate (full maths and English literacy) or equivalent qualification.

For any queries regarding the requirements and conditions of lockout/tagout and isolation training, contact our skills development advisor for more information.

Legislation regarding dangerous machinery in relation to lockout/tagout and isolation procedures

What is lockout/tagout and isolation about?

Lockout/tagout and isolation procedure responsibilities

We introduce learners to the roles played by management, developing procedures, identifying LOTO training needs, communication of procedures, ensuring staff compliance, ensuring that procedures are effective, management providing, testing and maintaining lockout equipment, administration of lockout documentation and records, operators, artisans and contractors, who may perform lockouts, hazard evaluation, achieving a zero state of energy, adhering to the lockout procedures, advising supervisors of missing or broken lockout devices, participating in mandatory lockout training, not removing locks or tags that are not their own and reporting to the supervisor any hazards and disciplinary measures for tampering with locked or tagged equipment.

Procedural requirements

We outline the items needed for LOTO, written LOTO schedules, and precautions to be considered when doing lockout and isolation, first principle of safe lockout/tagout, risk instructions, precautions for specific energy hazards, lockout don'ts, and removing lockout devices and what to do when lockout devices cannot be removed.

Lockout/tagout procedures

We discuss the scope of the procedures, electrical lockout procedure, mechanical lockout procedure (valves, suspended loads, kinetic energy and vessels), procedure to be followed during shift or responsibility handover and precautions to be considered when doing lockout and isolation. We also explain the differences between lockout and tagout.

Gauges and warning devices

We explain the different types of components and systems we find on machines to be locked or tagged, identify the different warning systems and appropriate action to be taken by operators and identify the different warning lights, buzzers and hooters.

Assessment methods

We conduct a formative theoretical assessment at the beginning of the course to gauge the learner’s initial understanding (novices only). At the end of the training, a summative theoretical and practical application assessment is conducted, to find if the learner is competent; if not, additional developmental areas are identified and suggested.

When it comes to landscaping (both horticulture and agricultural), we offer Brush cutters, Chainsaws and Lawnmower training. John, a construction team supervisor, was keen on implementing quality principles on his construction site. One day, a scaffold erecting and dismantling supervisor named Sarah joined the team. They had a quick meeting on planned task observations, as they aimed to apply quality control meticulously. The supervisory skills John had acquired in his training courses proved effective as he managed the team smoothly. An incident occurred when they started to operate pan compactors and trench compactors. Safety was their top priority, and they had a fire and evacuation marshal named Tim, as well as a fall protection planner named Emily. Both had gone through rigorous task observation training and were adept at safety monitoring. Suddenly, a fall arrest situation happened. A worker named Jack was dangling from the scaffold. Emily, the fall protection planner, initiated the protocols while Tim, the fire and evacuation marshal, cleared the area. Another team member, trained as a fall arrest rescue technician, sprung into action and rescued Jack efficiently. The next day, the management decided to elevate the role of the fire and evacuation marshal and the fall protection planner, to include teaching supervisory skills and management skills to all staff. It was crucial to maintain standards, including those for scaffold erection, soil compaction, and machinery operation. In the end, John felt proud of his team's swift actions and appreciated how every member's training in areas like conflict resolution, construction safety, and task safety played a role in averting a crisis. The management, impressed by the team's performance, decided to engage Sarah, the scaffold supervisor, to oversee scaffold dismantling as well. Sarah had significant scaffolding skills and had completed courses in leadership training and employee supervision. She was an expert at operating heavy machinery, including the trench compactors. John's team was also responsible for off-road 4x4 driving techniques, heavy vehicle defensive driving, and AARTO system regulations. Given the mix of terrains they had to navigate to reach different construction sites, these skills were essential. They even had courses for light delivery vehicles and motorcycle defensive driving for delivery staff. With AARTO system training, they made sure that professional drivers understood the legal obligations and safety requirements, particularly for fleet managers. To address the challenge of securing heavy machinery for transport, they had a specialized training session on lowbed securement best practices. A team member, Mark, was excellent at maintaining customer relations, a skill he acquired through specific training programs. As the team expanded, pre-employment professional driver evaluations were introduced. This helped in assessing the driving skills of new recruits, which was crucial for maintaining construction site safety. Economic driving skills were taught to make the best use of fuel, reducing operational costs. Their training programs also catered to expats, offering RSA roads orientation, anti-hijacking techniques, and risk mitigation. They even included a unique program focusing on defensive driving for gravel roads. The last addition to their training curriculum was a special course on economic driving skills and techniques to help save fuel and reduce emissions. One day, they received a big project that required additional skilled workers. Luckily, John had undergone supervisory training, enabling him to manage even larger teams effectively. The project was a big success, and it was all thanks to their diverse skill set, continuous training, and excellent supervisory skills. The team felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing their comprehensive training—from 4x4 driving techniques to construction equipment operation—made them versatile and effective in their roles.
