Energy Isolation (Lock Out Tag Out) (Pre-recorded Webinar)

Energy sources in the workplace need to be controlled and often isolated to safely access machinery or any mechanised system. Incidents occur when there’s a lack of isolation systems and a lack of knowledge about hazards associated with plant and equipment.

Overview

Energy Isolation (Lock Out Tag Out) (Pre-recorded Webinar) course overview

A system being shut down does not mean it is safe. When isolation procedures are rushed because a task will “only take five minutes,” or assumptions replace proper verification of a zero-energy state, workers can be exposed to uncontrolled hazardous energy, with potentially devastating consequences. This pre-recorded Energy Isolation (Lock Out Tag Out) webinar builds the knowledge and understanding required to safely isolate energy sources and work on plant and equipment.
 
Refreshing skills isn’t about simply revisiting theory. Instead, this pre-recorded webinar reinforces key elements of energy isolation in a clear and practical way. It covers identifying hazardous energy, applying isolation procedures, and verifying a zero-energy state. Learners develop an understanding of different energy sources, isolation equipment, lockout and tagging requirements, and the safe process for isolation and reinstatement.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on building practical capability so workers can safely carry out isolation procedures and protect themselves from hazardous energy. Participants step back into the workplace equipped to apply isolation processes with confidence, verify that systems are safe, and ensure work is carried out safely.

Curriculum

What you'll cover

This course is designed for:
  • Workers carrying out operational or maintenance duties on plant, machinery, or equipment.
  • Team leaders and supervisors responsible for ensuring safe energy isolation and reinstatement procedures are followed.
  • People responsible for isolating hazardous energy before servicing, repair, cleaning, or inspection work.
  • Workplaces wanting stronger and more consistent lockout/tagout practices as part of day-to-day risk control.

Our approach

+IMPAC's Energy Isolation (Lock Out Tag Out) (Pre-recorded Webinar) training approach

IMPAC delivers this Energy Isolation pre-recorded webinar as a focused, practical learning experience that helps people understand what safe energy isolation looks like before they return to working with plant and equipment. The teaching moves from the basics of hazardous energy through to the decisions that matter in day-to-day work: what needs isolating, what equipment to use, how lockout and tagout fit together, and how to confirm a true zero-energy state.

Rather than relying on abstract theory, the webinar uses clear explanations, workplace examples, and practical walkthroughs of isolation and reinstatement processes to connect the learning back to real work. The focus stays on recognising where shortcuts create risk, applying isolation procedures consistently, and confirming equipment is safe before work begins or plant is returned to service.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This webinar is suited to workers, maintenance personnel, supervisors, and others who may need to isolate plant or protect themselves from hazardous energy. It is especially relevant where people work on or around machinery, carry out servicing, or need to understand how safe isolation and reinstatement should happen in practice.

Workers isolating hazardous energy need training, instruction, and supervision appropriate to the risks involved in the work. PCBUs must ensure workers are competent to carry out isolation procedures safely, particularly where plant, machinery, or stored energy creates serious risk. Many workplaces and clients also expect workers to understand site isolation procedures and authorisation requirements before carrying out isolation work.

Learners need written and spoken English equivalent to NCEA Level 1 (Year 11) or an IELTS score of 5.5 or higher. If a learner may need additional support, please contact our team before enrolment to discuss available support options.

Yes. This course is delivered online as a pre-recorded webinar through IMPAC’s LMS. First-time learners generally receive their login details within 24 hours of receiving their course instructions email.

The pre-recorded webinar takes approximately 4 hours to complete, depending on the learner’s pace. Delivered online through IMPAC’s LMS, learners can complete the training at a time that suits them while covering core lock out tag out principles and controls.

Yes, this course includes one assessment covering hazardous energy, isolation procedures, reinstatement processes, and the practical application of lockout controls.

This course covers NZQA Unit Standard 25043, which relates to lockout and reinstatement procedures used to safely isolate hazardous energy in the workplace.

IMPAC recommends refresher training at least every two years to help workers maintain safe isolation practices and stay current with lockout and tagout procedures. Refresher training may also be needed where plant, equipment, procedures, or workplace risks change, or following incidents or near misses.
