Lockout/Tagout
The Lockout Tagout Training course not only deals with how to lockout the machinery but why and when machinery must be locked out.  We believe that unless people can understand the actual dangers from failure to lockout, many of them will neglect lockout.

The Lockout/Tagout Training program is designed to meet the requirements of the WorkSafeBC & Canada Labour Code safety requirements.
