LOTO – Lockout / Tagout Saves Lives!

 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.


Share this to spread safety awareness at your workplace.
