Example Course: Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)

Hello Heroes,

I thought it might help people who are new to e-learning to see an example of a full course, so I'm sharing.

This is a safety course focused on Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), which is a safety protocol in which you apply a padlock to an appropriate part of a device to physically prevent anyone from restoring energy to it while you are working on it.

For example, suppose you need to replace a section of pipe, but the liquid flowing through the pipe is at high pressure. You'll need to turn a valve somewhere upstream of the section that needs to be replaced and relieve the pressure before replacing the old part with a new one. But if someone were to turn the valve while you're in the middle of the job, the pressurized fluid could injure you. So you would place a padlock on the valve to prevent anyone from turning it until you are done with your work.

This particular course is for people who only apply their locks to systems that others have already locked out--meaning the audience for this course never actually establishes the lockout. That's covered in a separate, more detailed training course.

Anyway, here's the course: EHS 0388 LOTO for Limited LOTO Authorized Persons.

The most interesting parts are probably the way the course has the learner interact with the briefing sheet, and the way it has the learner participate in the LOTO briefing. But be patient because the interactive LOTO briefing doesn't come up until the second half of the course.
