LOTO Retraining
There are many reasons to retrain your employees. Here are a couple examples:
Employees must be retrained for changes in equipment or machinery or for deficiencies in KSAs.
- To introduce new or revised control methods and procedures as necessary.
- To re-establish employee proficiency.
You do not need to retrain your employees on an annual basis. However, if your employees do not actually use LOTO procedures often, it's a good idea to practice the procedures at least annually.
Retrain employees when work conditions change. Authorized and affected employees must be retrained whenever:
- their job assignments change;
- energy-control procedures change;
- equipment or work processes present new hazards; or
- when they don't follow energy-control procedures.
Other triggers that indicate training may be necessary include:
- periodic inspections reveal that there are deviations in the energy control procedure; or
- the employer believes that there are deviations from, or inadequacies in, the employee's knowledge or use of the energy control procedures.
