See how Thrive delivers enterprise-quality development for SMBs.
Authorized employees actually perform the lockout and service the equipment. Affected employees only work near locked-out machines. This is the authorized-employee course.
How long is it?
About 15 minutes, self-paced, part of the ehs track included with a Thrive membership.
Is online training enough to be authorized?
It covers the required knowledge, but your employer must also verify you can apply the machine-specific procedures. Pair it with a live workshop for hands-on practice.
