Lockout Tagout (LOTO)


Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Procedures

Lockout Tagout (LOTO) safeguards workers by isolating hazardous energy during equipment maintenance, as mandated by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. Using locks/tags on energy sources, it prevents accidental startups. A compliant LOTO program requires written procedures, trained personnel, and regular inspections to avoid electrocution, burns, or crushing injuries. This critical protocol ensures both workplace safety and operational reliability.

Bring It All Together

LOTO software is essential for worker safety, digitizing procedures to prevent hazardous energy accidents during maintenance. It identifies energy sources and integrates with EHS systems, ensuring compliance and efficiency. OSHEPRO’s TRACI® enhances this by centralizing workflows, automating compliance, and linking with safety programs—providing full visibility and control over lockout/tagout processes for stronger EHS performance.

Lockout Tagout Training

LOTO training is vital for EHS management, ensuring workers safely control hazardous energy during maintenance. OSHEPRO’s SELT® LMS simplifies this by automating course delivery, tracking progress, and scheduling refreshers—keeping training current with regulations. Regular program reviews align procedures with operational changes, strengthening safety culture and compliance while fostering a more prepared workforce.

Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) and Best Management Practices

OSHA’s Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures protect workers from hazardous energy during machine servicing or maintenance. The process involves shutting down equipment, isolating energy sources, and applying locks or tags to prevent accidental startup. Only authorized personnel can perform LOTO, and energy isolation must be verified before work begins.
