INTRODUCTION FOR LOCKOUT TAGOUT SAFETY
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), also called Control of Hazardous Energy, is used in many industries. LOTO is a process that ensures energy-powered machinery and equipment are shut-down properly so they can undergo regular maintenance with no possibility of suddenly starting up and injuring employees. LOTO procedures isolate the hazardous energy sources in machines, which are locked or tagged by a specially trained worker who is the only person who can remove the lock and/or tag. This assures the machine or equipment cannot accidentally start up while undergoing maintenance or service or be mistakenly turned on by other workers. A Lockout/Tagout program is required whenever machinery or equipment has the potential to harm workers with its hazardous energy. It’s not enough to just turn off the machine; all energy sources must be identified, controlled, isolated and locked.
