Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) procedures
LOTO procedures play a vital role in the prevention of asset damage, reduction of operational waste, and avoidance of costly production losses.
Reduce the risk of unexpected asset energization
Adherence to critical energy control procedures is essential to prevent injuries and unplanned downtime during maintenance and servicing activities, regardless of the energy source: electrical, chemical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or mechanical.
A comprehensive, documented, and actively managed lockout-tagout (LOTO) program
Ensures regulatory compliance and cultivates a strong safety culture, reinforced through training and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Implementing and consistently maintaining critical lockout-tagout (LOTO)
OTO procedures play a vital role in the prevention of asset damage, reduction of operational waste, and avoidance of costly production losses.
The control of hazardous energy is a continuous improvement journey
Developing and leveraging a comprehensive lockout tagout program is critical to the safety and success of people and operations. Changes in regulations, equipment, processes, business demands, and workforce frequently require revisiting one or more critical program components.
