Shipyard Lockout Tagout
Online Training Certificate Course
29 CFR 1915.89
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company since 2008.
This course presents an overview of the lockout and tagout procedures used to protect employees from hazardous energy sources encountered when servicing machinery, equipment, and systems in shipyards.
When servicing machinery, equipment, or systems, workers may be seriously injured or even lose their lives if hazardous energy sources are not properly controlled. By following lockout tags-plus practices and procedures, shipyard workers can successfully mitigate the risk of injury or death as a result of the failure to control hazardous energy.
This course is for:
OSHA has developed a rule for controlling hazardous energy specifically for the maritime industry. This standard is commonly referred to as the lockout tags-plus procedure. This procedure also contains specific requirements that apply to shipyard workers during the servicing of large, complex systems with multiple power sources.
Case Study: A worker onboard a fish-processing vessel was tasked with cleaning a vat used to process fish paste. Soon after cleaning operations began, the augers (a tool used to drill large holes) at the bottom of the vat were suddenly activated. The worker's feet and legs were drawn into the machinery. It took her coworkers two hours to free her entire body from the machinery and another half a day for her to be airlifted off the vessel. The helicopter transported the worker to a hospital in Anchorage, Alaska, where she survived the incident, despite her legs being amputated below the knees.
Key Takeaway: The switch that provided power to the vat's augers was turned off. However, there was no lockout tags-plus procedure in place. In addition, there was a lack of signage (such as a "Do Not Start" warning sign or tag) posted to indicate that hazardous conditions could arise if the equipment was energized.
Lockout tags-plus programs are engineering controls that seek to minimize or eliminate exposure to workplace hazards. Federal regulations grant workers the right to work on machines that are safe. A machine being serviced without a proper lockout tags-plus system in place is not considered safe by any means.
This workplace accident was avoidable. Had the hazardous energy source been properly locked and tagged out, the worker would not have suffered injury and amputation.

Learners who do not complete the course within 60 days will have their enrollment disabled and not be eligible for a refund. Please review our Terms & Conditions for details.
Retraining is required when: (1) supervision and inspections indicate that the employee is not following safety-related work practices; (2) new technology, new types of equipment, or changes in procedures necessitate the use of safety-related work practices that are different from those the employee would normally use; or (3) the employee must use safety procedures that are not normally used in his or her regular job duties. OSHA considers tasks that an employee performs less often than once a year as triggering the requirement for retraining.
