December 2021 Virtual Chapter Meeting – Lock Out / Tag Out: Minor Servicing, Exceptions, and Alternative Methods

  •  December 14, 2021
     11:30 am - 1:00 pm

The Northwest Chapter continues the 2021 – 2022 monthly meeting season with a discussion on:

Lock Out / Tag Out: Minor Servicing, Exceptions, and Alternative Methods

The OSHA standard for “Lockout/Tagout” has been around for a while and in large part, Safety Professionals are familiar with it.  Nevertheless, injuries involving the unexpected release of energy still occur and the standard remains in the “Top 10” for OSHA violations.  This presentation takes a “deeper dive” into certain parts of the regulation and offers insights into these applications.  Program participants will gain insight and better understanding of OSHA standards for LOTO minor servicing, exceptions, and alternative methods.  This presentation delves into these somewhat confusing standards and provides real workplace examples of how these rules may or may not be applicable today. The training also touches on recommendations for navigating alternative methods, and OSHA’s “Request for Information” (RFI)

Last year, we registered all of our available seats with many unable to attend.  Unfortunately, A LOT of people signed up for the event and failed to show up.  That left a number of Chapter members unable to participate.

What we found out with virtual events that people paid for, we had almost 100% attendance.

So…

We are charging a small fee for this event to encourage people to commit to filling the seats.  As always, the proceeds will be used for our scholarship funds.  None of the funds will be used to compensate any of our fine speakers.

We're sorry, but all tickets sales have ended because the event is expired.
