LOTO Energy Isolation and Tagging System (Lockout/Tag out)

 LOTO

Energy Isolation and Tagging System (Lockout/Tag out)

This system is designed to isolate 

energy sources and tag them to prevent 

accidental activation of equipment 

during maintenance, thereby avoiding 

accidents. This system is implemented 

by a designated competent person 

before maintenance procedures begin. 

The equipment may not be re-energized 

except by this same person.

Safety Lock (Personal Lock)

A safety lock is a type of lock with a single key. The person 

responsible for the isolation procedure uses this lock to secure 

energy sources. The key is then placed in a 

lockbox. Every individual involved in the 

maintenance of that equipment then applies 

their personal safety lock to the lockbox. 

These individuals are the only ones permitted 

to remove their locks upon completion of the 

maintenance, allowing the lockbox to be opened and the key 

retrieved by the responsible person to re-energize the 

equipment
