Loto

3. Introduction
Lockout/Tagout/Tryout mini module is part of
a curriculum series addressing hazards
found in areas of grain handling facilities
including grain bins and their surrounding
area. It is accompanied by a video –
Lockout, Tagout, Tryout – Each Time, Every
Time. It’s purpose is to assist participants to
identify and abate hazards in the work place.

8. Learning Objectives
At the end of this module, participants
will be able to:
Explain the purpose of LOTO and when it
should be used.
Explain the concept of one lock, one key,
per person.
Describe the basic steps of performing
LOTO.

9. Reason for Lock Out/Tag Out
9
 OSHA 1910.147
 Protects Employees
 Written Procedures
 Affordable
 Best Practice – Farm
 Mandatory -
Commercial

10. Lock Out/Tag Out is Protection
 Injury
 Unexpected startup
 During service or
maintenance
 Work near exposed
electrical
10

11. LOTO Controls Energy Sources
11
 Control hazardous energy
 Isolate power sources-inoperable
 De-energize machines/equipment
 Use energy isolating device
 Stored & residual energy
– electrical, mechanical,
hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal,
gravity, & others
Property of
Master Lock®

12. Lockout Isolates Energy
12
- isolation of
energy from the system
(a machine, equipment,
or process) which
physically locks the
system in a safe mode.

13. Tagout – Warns & Informs
13
–WARNS. A labeling system that
informs others of the reason for LOTO, why
it cannot be operated, who did LOTO.

14. Lock Out/Tag Out Requirements
14
 Authorized employees
perform LOTO
 Train employees
 Use proper locks & tags
 Written LOTO procedures
 Review procedures annually

15. 1 Lock, 1 Key, 1 Person
15
Your lock cannot be
opened with another
key.

16. Multiple people = multiple locks
More than 1 person needs LOTO on same
equipment or machine:
16
Lock for each person Group LOTO

17. When energy control is needed.
Service or maintenance
• Machines & equipment
By-pass or remove guard
• Other safety devices
Any body part in the point of operation
• Danger zone during the operating cycle
 Grain bin entry
• Tasks related to grain handling & storage
17

18. NO LOTO – Same protection!
exceptions to not using LOTO
 Exclusive control of power source
• Electric cord
 Minor tool changes, adjustments, service
• Documented procedures
• Same level of protection
 Can’t accept lock
• Tagout
• Same level of protection
18

19. #1
19
 Identify energy sources
 Notify affected persons of LOTO

20. #2
20
 Follow written procedures.
 Turn off or shut down the equipment.

21. #3
21
 Disconnect or otherwise isolate
energy sources
 Release stored energy

22. – energy in
system not being used. Provides power
when released.
 Mechanical - item under tension
 Hydraulic - stored in pressurized liquid
 Pneumatic - stored in pressured air
 Gravitational - from something falling
Stored energy waits for release
22

23. Stored energy is all around.
Stored energy examples:
 Battery back-ups
 Springs
 Capacitors
 Flywheels
 Gravity – elevated
 Hydraulic lift systems
 Air, gas, steam, water pressure
23

24. Release energy: dissipate, restrain
Dissipate - use up the energy
Restrain - keep from use
 Grounding
 Repositioning
 Bleeding
 Venting
 Blocking
24

25. # 4
25
 Install locks on energy sources
 Attach tags to locks or machines/equipment
 One lock & tag per machine or
equipment
Install Lock Attach Tag

26. # 5
26
 machine
 to start
 it is locked
out

27. #6
27
 Begin maintenance or
service work
 Complete work
 Remove tools & clean
up area
• Account for tools & parts
 Equipment is intact

28. # 7
28
 Notify persons affected
• Energy being restored
• Machine/equipment being
restarted
 Ensure others at safe
distance

29. # 8
29
 Remove lockout & tagout
devices
• Only person who put it on
 Start-up equipment
 Verify working properly

30. Lockout devices - use ONLY
for LOTO
 Only use - LOTO
 Employer provides
 Standardize – color, shape, size
 Durable - withstand environment
 Substantial – prevent removal
• Need force or tool to remove
 Identify person
Property of Master Lock®
30

31. Type of LOTO Locks
Pole Breaker
Padlock
Valves
Wall Switch
Breaker Lockout
Lockout
Hasp
31

32. Tagout devices: Durable, locking.
 Standardize – print & format
 Durable - withstand environment
• Legible & understandable
 Substantial – securely attached
• Non-reuseable
• Self locking
• Unlock strength ≥ 50 lbs.
• By hand
 Identify person
 Warn - Do Not Operate, etc. 32

33. Emergency Lock Removal
Employer remove lock
employee is
 Employee at facility
 Reasonable effort to inform employee
 Employee knows lock removed
• Must know return to work
HINT: Keep written documentation
33

34. Energy Control
(LOTO) Procedures
Employee Training
Periodic Inspections
Enforcement Policy
Written
Full Employee
Protection
34

35. Try out in LOTO procedure
 Scope & Purpose – how to use
 Steps to control energy
• Shut down, isolate, block, secure
 LOTO Devices
• place, remove, transfer
 ID responsible person
 Try out – specific steps
35

36. 36
EXAMPLE

37. Who needs LOTO training?
workers need training according to their
exposure to LOTO
OSHA identifies:
– performs LOTO
– operates machine or
equipment or works in area where LOTO is
done
37

38. LOTO training for ALL workers
- must know, understand & be able
to follow LOTO procedures
 Purpose & function of LOTO
 Use of LOTO
 Procedures
 Prohibit restart if LOTO in place
 Limitations of Tagout only system
38

39. Tagout only - Rules & limitations
Warning
Does provide physical restraint
 False sense of security
 Provide full employee protection
 Removal by owner
 Prohibit start up
 Hold isolating device in “off” position
• Easily seen
39

40. “Must know” to perform LOTO
– Person who
performs LOTO
 Recognize hazardous energy sources
 Type & magnitude of energy sources
present
 How to isolate & control energy
• Methods
• Means
40

41. Retrain LOTO if there is change
employees when:
 Change occurs:
• Job assignments
• Equipment
• Procedures & Process
 Inspection - need or inadequacy
 Certify training – name & date
• Keep training up to date
41

42. Periodic Inspection
 Annual documentation
 Review procedures
 Authorized employee conducts
 Identify & correct
• Deviations or inadequacies
 Review each authorized employee
 Review each LOTO procedure
42

43. If they had LOTO procedures in place:
• Dad would have his arm
• Son would not have GUILT.
Why LOTO for Farms
43
• Father & son discussed need to check a cross
auger on top of a bin.
• No responsibility assigned.
• Dad checked auger; did not like what he heard.
• Dad got on top of bin & stuck his arm in the auger.
• Son decided to check the auger.
• Father lost his forearm.

44. Implement LOTO for farms
44
 Develop procedures
 Communicate
 Tag it – Warn others
 Use locks
 Other locking or secured
mechanism
Farms - Use of &
strongly recommended
