For a deeper dive into energy control procedures, see Introduction to Lockout Tagout (LOTO).

Rotating shafts, in-running nip points, reciprocating parts, and transverse movements are common hazards. Module 3 of this machine safety online course details each with real‑world examples. Also explore Personal Protection Equipment (PPEs) at WorkPlace for complementary safety practices.
