Every year, a number of serious lockout-related accidents occur in the workplace. These accidents are the result of contact with a moving part, with chemicals or pressurized products, with live elements or with elements that move accidentally. Simply stopping a piece of equipment is not enough to ensure the safety of workers in the hazardous work area; you also need to prevent any accidental start-up or unexpected movement. Lockout makes it possible to neutralize all sources of hazardous energy before work begins, thus preventing accidents caused by accidental restarting of equipment.

Target audience 

The training is aimed at anyone who has to apply a lockout procedure in their workplace.

Objectives

• Know the applicable regulations;
• Understand the hazards to which workers are exposed;
• Risk assessment;
• Identify energy sources and equipment interruption points;
• Draw up a lockout sheet;
• Follow up on the lockout program

When working with hazardous materials, contaminants (particles, gases, vapours or fumes) often mix with the ambient air. To ensure optimum lung health for workers, it's important to put in place appropriate preventive measures, including the use of respiratory protection. For respirators to be effective, you need to choose the right protection, know how they work, know how to maintain them and store them properly.

Target audience 

Training is aimed primarily at workers involved in contaminated air conditions.

Objectives

• Knowing the applicable regulations
• How to select, use and maintain a respirator
• Identify situations in which workers may be exposed to contaminants
• See the main elements of a respiratory protection program
