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.
