This course provides an in-depth understanding of Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO) procedures, focusing on how to safely control hazardous energy in maritime operations. Participants will learn practical techniques for isolating energy sources such as electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical systems to prevent accidents during maintenance. The course also covers safety protocols, crew responsibilities, and real-world case studies to ensure effective hazard management and compliance with maritime safety standards.

This comprehensive training course delves into the Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO) procedures specifically designed for maritime operations. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how to identify hazardous energy sources, such as electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical systems, and learn best practices for isolating and securing these sources during maintenance work. The course covers step-by-step procedures for applying LOTO devices, ensuring all machinery remains safely de-energized until the job is complete.

In addition to the technical aspects, learners will explore the importance of safety culture onboard ships, including the role of Stop Work Authority and communication during LOTO operations. Real-world case studies will highlight the risks of non-compliance, reinforcing the necessity of following LOTO protocols to prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities.

Upon completion, participants will be equipped with the practical knowledge and skills to implement and oversee LOTO procedures effectively, ensuring compliance with safety standards. They will be able to confidently manage complex maintenance tasks, reduce operational risks, and contribute to a safer work environment for all crew members.
