What you get, and what your employer still does
- Contact hours
- Up to 1 hour — the time you are actually active, rounded down to the half hour
- Final assessment
- 14 questions, 70% to pass, retakes allowed
- Employer’s part
- Your employer finishes the job: the written procedures for the machines you will service, your personal locks and tags, how group lockout and shift change work on your site, and an authorized employee watching you lock out a real machine. Affected employees learn which machines are locked out near them.
- Repeat it
- OSHA requires retraining when jobs, machines, processes or procedures change, or when an inspection shows gaps (1910.147(c)(7)(iii)), and every procedure is inspected at least yearly (1910.147(c)(6)). Many employers refresh training yearly.
When you finish, you'll be able to
- Recognize hazardous energy — electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal and gravity
- Tell apart authorized, affected and other employees and what each must know
- Decide when lockout applies, including jams and the narrow exceptions
- Carry out the six-step lockout sequence, release stored energy and verify before work
- Release equipment safely, handle group lockout, contractors and shift change
- Apply the electrical rules: lock and tag, and testing by a qualified person
How this course works · 1-minute read
Lessons are slides
Use Back / Next or the ← → arrow keys. The gold bar above each slide jumps to any slide, and marks the Quick Checks before you reach them.
Quick Checks
22 short questions sit inside the lessons. Pick an answer and the right one and the explanation appear straight away. They are practice — nothing is recorded.
Every answer has a source
Citation cards name the regulation or standard behind a slide; OSHA and EPA citations open the official text. Nothing comes into this exam room, so the course flags what to memorize.
Your place is saved
Sign in and the course remembers the slide you stopped on. A lesson is marked done when you press Mark lesson complete on its last slide — you can unmark it to study it again.
Then the final and your employer
A 14-question final assessment (70% to pass) unlocks the certificate with your contact hours. Then print the practical checkoff: your employer’s competent person covers your site and checks you hands-on.

Continuing education
Finish every lesson and pass the final assessment and you can print a completion certificate with the date, the course version and your measured contact hours — the time you were active in the course, rounded down to the half hour. Contact hours on a certificate of completion. Certifying bodies decide what counts toward recertification; LifeSafetyWiki is not an IACET-accredited provider.
