Mastering Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Safety for Hazardous Energy Control

When maintaining equipment or machinery in the workplace, you need to take precautions to keep yourself and your co-workers safe. Situations where stored energy is unexpectedly released can be dangerous to those working on or around the equipment.

Learn the essentials of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) to ensure safety during the servicing and maintenance of machinery and equipment. This training is designed to protect employees from hazardous energy releases.

Understanding the Risks

Working with machinery and equipment involves risks such as crushed hands, amputations, and other serious injuries. Understanding these risks is crucial for implementing effective safety measures.

The Importance of LOTO

Lockout/Tagout procedures are critical for preventing accidental energy releases that could result in injuries or fatalities. Proper training ensures that employees know how to safely de-energize equipment before performing any work.

Key Procedures

• Identify and document all energy sources associated with the equipment.
• Isolate energy sources using approved lockout/tagout devices.
• Relieve, disconnect, or restrain any stored or residual energy.
• Verify that the equipment is de-energized and secure before starting maintenance.
• Ensure that only authorized personnel are involved in the LOTO process.
