1. Lock out tag out (LOTO) procedures are used to safeguard workers during service or maintenance of machines and equipment by isolating hazardous energy sources.
2. LOTO is required when employees could be harmed by equipment startup or release of stored energy while working on or near machines. It involves shutting down and isolating equipment, then locking out energy sources and attaching warning tags.
3. Proper LOTO procedures include preparing for the job, shutting down and isolating equipment, applying locks and tags, relieving stored energy, verifying isolation, getting approval before re-energizing, informing workers, and periodic inspections.

2. What is LOTO?
Lock Out Tag Out
Logout and Tagout procedures should be used to safeguard workers from the unexpected startup or
release of stored energy service or maintenance activities like.
Repairing
Lubricating
Cleaning
Unjamming machines and equipment
3. WHEN IS LOCK OUT TAG OUT REQUIRED?
Servicing, maintaining, or unjamming equipment where:
Employees are required to place any part of their body in harms way.
Employees are required to remove or bypass a safety device.
Employees are exposed to hazardous energy.
Hazardous energy exists
When a startup could occur
7. Tag Information
This will typically include the Name of
the person attaching the tag, the date
on which it was attached, and in many
cases, details about the work that is being
done , contact of authorized worker.
11. SIX STEPS OF LOTO SAFETY & LOCKOUT/TAGOUT
PROCEDURES
A lockout/tagout procedure should include the following six steps:
1. Preparation
2. Shutdown
3. Isolation
4. Lockout/tagout
5. Stored energy check
6. Isolation verification
12. PREPARATION
Getting permission to work on equipment with a LOTO work permit
Gathering all written LOTO procedures
Identifying the location of energy isolation devices
Getting all equipment needed and information on the
type and amount of energy you are working with
13. SHUTDOWN
With planning complete, the actual process of powering down and
locking out machines begins.
its time to shut down the machine or equipment that will be serviced or
maintained.
important part of this step is to inform any employee affected by the
shutdown, even if they wont play a role in the service or
maintenance.
14. ISOLATION
is to isolate the machine or equipment from any source of energy.
This may mean any number of things, such as turning off
power at a breaker or shutting a valve.
15. LOCKOUT AND TAGOUT
During this step, the authorized employee will attach lockout and/or
tagout devices to each energy-isolating device.
isolating device in a way so it says in the safe position and cannot be
moved to the unsafe position.
Tagout refers to applying a tag on the device as well. This tag
includes the name of the person who performed the lockout and
additional information.
16. STORED ENERGY CHECK
its important to look for any hazardous energy thats been stored
within the machine, or any residual energy.
During this phase, any potentially hazardous stored or residual energy
must be releived, disconnected, restrained, or made non-hazardous in
some other way.
17. ISOLATION VERIFICATION
After shut down the machines, isolated them from their source of power,
locked them out, and checked for hazardous stored energy. But nows the
time to double-check that you did it all right and its now safe to work on
the machine or equipment.
At this point, an authorized employee verifies the machine has been
properly isolated and de-energized
18. AUTHORIZED WORKERS
1. Authorized workers lock out and tag out machines or equipment
to perform servicing and maintenance
2. Is properly and thoroughly trained to use lockout/tagout
procedures
3. Operates equipment (sometimes)
19. AFFECTED WORKERS
2. Affected workers operate and use machines or equipment that is
under LOTO.
They do not perform LOTO or service and maintenance on
machines or equipment.
Occasionally adjust equipment that is subject to lockout tagout
Work around
20. OTHER WORKERS
3.Other workers may be in the area where LOTO procedures are
happening .
They are informed about the..
Locks or tags put into place to prevent the startup of the machine
or equipment
Equipment that is being serviced or undergoing maintenance
LOTO procedures
21. INSPECTION AND TRAINING
1. Inspection :-
Inspect the energy control program every year
Energy control program
Describes each machines energy sources
Describes companys procedures
22. INSPECTION AND TRAINING
2. Retraining :-
Retraining is required when
If inspector is not satisfied with employees
knowledge of procedures
Whenever there is a change in job assignment
Whenever these is a change in machines equipment
or processes
When there is a change in procedures
24. RESTORE WORK AREA
1) Restore the work area operating
conditions
2) Ensure all tools have been removed
3) Double-check all equipment components
4) Machines must be operationally intact
25. INFORM AFFECTED EMPLOYEES
Before and after removing lockout/tagout devices, inform all
affected employees
Before removing any devices and re-energizing equipment
Make sure all employees are out of the operating area
26. RE-ENERGIZE
When re-energizing the equipment, follow
standard procedures
Double- check before restoring power to any
machine
