Ideal Industries training program promotes OSHA compliance, employee safety

Dec 17, 2008

Ideal is now offering a training program on the correct application of lockout/tagout practices. The program includes a 10-minute video, an OSHA standard compliance manual, reference cards, an instructor’s guide and an employee quiz.
According to the United States Department of Labor, compliance with the OSHA lockout/tagout standard prevents an estimated 120 fatalities and 50,000 injuries each year. Lockout/tagout procedures safeguard employees from unexpected startup of machinery, or the release of hazardous energy during maintenance.
