SME: Dan Hannan

Put your lockout/tagout knowledge to the test in this interactive fault-finding challenge. Learners begin by arranging the seven lockout/tagout steps in the correct sequence before entering a series of workplace scenarios where equipment has been improperly locked out. Their mission is to inspect each scene, identify visible lockout/tagout errors, determine what went wrong, and select the appropriate corrective action. 
 
As players progress through increasingly complex scenarios, they encounter a variety of hazardous energy control failures involving electrical, thermal, and hydraulic systems. By closely examining equipment, tags, locks, isolation devices, and energy indicators, learners reinforce their understanding of proper lockout/tagout procedures and the consequences of skipped or incomplete steps. Hints and performance-based scoring add an engaging layer of challenge while encouraging careful observation and critical thinking. Successful players earn a badge by demonstrating their ability to recognize and correct lockout/tagout deficiencies before they lead to incidents.
Course Objectives

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Apply the correct sequence of lockout/tagout (LOTO) activities in realistic workplace scenarios.
  • Identify and isolate multiple hazardous energy sources associated with equipment and systems.
  • Demonstrate effective communication with affected employees, operators, and other stakeholders before and during LOTO activities.
  • Recognize and control stored or residual energy hazards before beginning maintenance or servicing work.
  • Verify isolation and confirm a zero-energy state before performing work on equipment.
  • Evaluate workplace situations and select appropriate actions that align with lockout/tagout requirements and safe work practices.
  • Demonstrate the proper steps for safely removing lockout/tagout devices and returning equipment to service.
