PPE workwear is required if the training is held at a client’s workplace, the employer will inform the instructor and students of the expectations.

Can I use a combination lock, or a regular key lock for Lockout Tagout?

For correct lockout tagout applications you need a lock that is uniquely keyed and only you control the key (keep the key in your possession) for the duration the lockout is required. The lock needs an identification tag/label affixed to it, marked with your information (name, phone number) and a warning message to not remove the lock because it is controlling hazardous energy.

What equipment will I learn to use during the training?

During your training you will learn how to use a variety of energy isolating devices, group lockout devices, personal locks and tags.

Is my training certificate valid in Alberta and British Columbia?

Yes, the training covers commonalities between Alberta, British Columbia and Canadian Federal OHS regulations. The training certificate does not state validity for only one province, location or employer.

Is online lockout tagout training accepted on Alberta and British Columbia worksites?

Online-only training is generally not accepted on most worksites in Alberta and British Columbia, as regulators and employers expect practical, hands-on competency demonstration. OOSHEW's training includes practical exercises with real equipment to meet this requirement.
