LOTO – Lockout / Tagout Saves Lives!
Before any maintenance or repair work, Lockout / Tagout (LOTO) is a MUST. It protects workers from unexpected energization and serious injuries.
Lockout – Physically locks the energy-isolating device
Tagout – Warns others not to operate the equipment
Purpose of LOTO:
✔ Prevent accidental start-up
✔ Control hazardous energy
✔ Protect workers from injury or fatality
Basic LOTO Steps:
1️⃣ Prepare for shutdown
2️⃣ Inform affected employees
3️⃣ Shut down equipment
4️⃣ Isolate all energy sources
5️⃣ Apply lock & tag
6️⃣ Release stored energy
7️⃣ Verify isolation
REMEMBER: Never try to operate equipment that is locked or tagged out!
Safety is not an option, it’s a responsibility.
