LOTOTO Training: Operative RSTC-800

This Lockout training course provides operatives with the practical knowledge and confidence required to apply LOTOTO procedures safely and consistently when carrying out work on machinery and equipment.

It focuses on correct isolation techniques, role responsibilities and understanding the consequences of failure.

Why Lockout Training Matters

Even well designed LOTOTO systems fail if operatives:

  • Don’t fully understand the process
  • Use shortcuts
  • Are unclear on their role
  • Don’t recognise hazardous energy sources

This course ensures operatives understand why LOTOTO matters, not just how to apply it.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable for:

  • Maintenance operatives
  • Engineers and technicians
