Who Needs LOTO Certification?

While there’s no official OSHA-issued “LOTO Certification,” the term is commonly used to refer to completing required Lockout/Tagout training and receiving a certificate of completion. Under OSHA’s Control of Hazardous Energy standard (29 CFR 1910.147), employers must provide training to any employee involved in servicing or maintaining machines or equipment where unexpected energization or release of stored energy could result in serious harm or death. This includes workers in manufacturing, maintenance, construction, and other industries where hazardous energy poses significant safety risks.

How Long Does LOTO Certification Last?

OSHA does not set a fixed expiration date for LOTO training. However, the standard requires employers to review their energy control program at least annually to ensure procedures remain effective and employee training is current. Retraining is necessary if there are changes in equipment, job assignments, or energy control procedures, or if an evaluation shows that an employee’s performance needs improvement.

It depends on your familiarity with the subject, but our course is designed to be clear and practical for learners at any skill level. Real-world examples are provided throughout to help you apply OSHA requirements to everyday work situations, and the final exam ensures you’ve mastered the material.
