3.3 LOTO Retraining

Employees must be retrained for changes in equipment or machinery or for deficiencies in KSAs.

There are many reasons to retrain your employees. Here are a couple examples:

• introduce new or revised control methods and procedures as necessary


• 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.
