Internationally Accredited LOTO Training Center in KSA

EUTC Global is an internationally accredited training center based in Al Khobar. Our Lockout Tagout course is built around the international OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 standard and the Saudi Aramco isolation and hold-tag system, so your team can work on Aramco and SABIC sites with confidence.

LOTO sits at the core of our oil and gas safety training in Saudi Arabia. Every course mixes classroom theory with hands-on practice on real lock and tag devices.

Why LOTO Training Is Mandatory for Aramco and SABIC Vendors

Lockout Tagout (LOTO) is the procedure used to control hazardous energy so machines cannot start up or release stored energy while someone is working on them. In Saudi Arabia, contractors must prove LOTO competency before they isolate any equipment on an Aramco or SABIC facility.

Saudi Aramco's General Instruction GI 6.012, Isolation, Lockout and Use of Hold Tags, requires that only trained authorized employees isolate energy sources during maintenance or inspection. It follows the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 framework and ties directly into the Work Permit System. This is exactly why LOTO appears on every list of mandatory safety trainings for Aramco vendor companies.

Most training providers teach a generic OSHA module. EUTC teaches both the OSHA standard and the Aramco "Lock, Tag, Clear and Try" verification method, so your authorized employees know how isolation works on a live KSA site, not just in a textbook. For teams that also handle permits and confined spaces, our LOTO course pairs naturally with work permit receiver training and the confined space entry permit step-by-step guide.

For a plain-language primer on the topic before enrolment, read our LOTO safety training guide.

Lockout Tagout Training: What You Will Learn

Hazardous energy control skills delivered by certified HSE professionals in Saudi Arabia

Course Curriculum

  • Hazardous energy fundamentals: electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal, chemical, gravitational, and stored energy
  • The OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 standard and the Saudi Aramco GI 6.012 isolation and hold-tag system
  • The six-step lockout sequence, from preparation and shutdown through to isolation verification
  • Lock and tag device selection: padlocks, hasps, valve and breaker lockouts, tags, and lockboxes
  • Stored and residual energy release: bleeding pressure, discharging capacitors, blocking suspended loads
  • Group lockout, multi-trade coordination, shift handover, and lockbox management
  • Contractor LOTO responsibilities on Aramco and SABIC facilities and the link to the Work Permit System
  • Re-energization and restoration: how to return equipment to service safely

LOTO works hand in hand with other isolation-based courses. Teams that enter tanks and vessels should pair it with confined space entry training, while crews monitoring atmospheres benefit from authorized gas tester training.

Who Should Attend

This course suits anyone who isolates, services, or works near machinery that can release hazardous energy, from technicians applying the locks to operators working in the area.

The 6 Steps of Lockout Tagout

Every LOTO procedure under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 and Saudi Aramco GI 6.012 follows the same sequence. Our training drills each step until your team performs it without hesitation.

1

Prepare

Identify the equipment, every energy source feeding it, and the type and magnitude of each. Plan the isolation before touching anything.

2

Notify & Shut Down

Inform all affected employees, then shut the equipment down using the established procedure for that machine.

3

Isolate

Operate every energy-isolating device: open breakers, close and chain valves, install blinds, and disconnect lines.

4

Lock & Tag

Apply a personal lock and hold tag to each isolation point. One worker, one lock, one key. Group lockboxes for multi-trade jobs.

5

Release Stored Energy

Bleed pressure, discharge capacitors, drain lines, and block or lower suspended parts until the system reaches zero energy.

6

Verify (Clear and Try)

Confirm isolation by testing controls and instruments. Only when start-up fails is the equipment safe to work on.

Authorized vs Affected Employee

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 separates workers into two roles. Both need training, at different depths, before any servicing begins.

Factor Authorized Employee Affected Employee
Role Performs the servicing or maintenance and applies the lockout or tagout Operates the equipment or works in the area where servicing happens
Applies locks/tags? Yes, places and removes their own lock and tag No, never applies or removes a lockout device
Training depth Full LOTO procedure, energy types, verification, and restoration Awareness of LOTO purpose and the rule never to restart locked equipment
Typical job titles Maintenance technician, electrician, fitter, instrument tech Machine operator, production staff, nearby crew

The course teaches both the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 standard and the Saudi Aramco Lock, Tag, Clear and Try method used on Aramco facilities.

Is LOTO training mandatory for Saudi Aramco and SABIC vendors?

+
Yes. Saudi Aramco GI 6.012 requires trained authorized employees before any equipment is isolated for maintenance, and it links to the Work Permit System under GI 2.100. SABIC applies equivalent hazardous energy control standards for its suppliers. Vendors must show LOTO competency during pre-qualification and site audits.

Who needs LOTO training in Saudi Arabia?

+
LOTO training is required for maintenance technicians, electricians, mechanical fitters, instrument technicians, plant operators, HSE officers, and any contractor performing servicing or maintenance at oil, gas, petrochemical, and construction sites. Authorized employees who apply locks and tags need full training; affected employees need awareness-level instruction.

How long does the LOTO training course take?

+
The standard Lockout Tagout course runs for one day and combines theory with hands-on practice using lock and tag devices and energy-isolation mock-ups. Extended and site-specific versions are available for plants that need procedures written around their own equipment, group lockout, and lockbox systems.

What is the difference between an authorized and an affected employee?

+
Under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, an authorized employee applies locks and tags and performs the servicing or maintenance. An affected employee operates the machine or works in the area where servicing happens but does not apply the lockout. Both require training, at different depths, before work begins.
