LOCKOUT / TAGOUT TRAINING
We offer lockout / tagout training in all 50 states!
EDS conducted a 2011 survey of a broad cross section of the electrical industry that was comprised of 22 companies totaling 507 electrical workers who were asked one question… do you implement your company’s energy control procedures on every job task? The findings were 16 out of 507 said “yes”. These answers reveal that our companies are not annually auditing their employees or enforcing the energy control program (no reprimand). The annual audit is required by OSHA to ensure that employees understand the Lockout / Tagout procedures and the importance of implementing these procedures.
