 🔒 LOCKOUT/TAGOUT vs TRYOUT PROCEDURE

Many workplace accidents occur because workers believe equipment is de-energized when it is not.

Understanding the difference between Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and Tryout Procedures can prevent serious injuries and fatalities.

✅ LOTO isolates hazardous energy sources.

✅ TRYOUT verifies that the isolation is effective.

✅ Both steps are essential before maintenance begins.

✅ Never trust a switch position without verification.

✅ Always test before touching equipment.

Remember: Lock it. Tag it. Try it. Then work on it.
