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 un‐jamming equipment where:
•Employees are required to place any part of their body in harm’s way.
•Employees are required to remove or bypass a safety device.
•Employees are exposed to hazardous energy.
• Hazardous energy exists
• When a start‐up could occur

4. ENERGY SOURCES
•Mechanical
•Thermal
•Hydraulic
•Pneumatic
•Magnetic
•Gravity
•Electrical
•Gas
•Water
•Other stored energy
(i.e. springs, capacitors)

5. Types of Loto Device
Lock Tag
• Locks • Blocks• Chains • Multilock hasps • Wheel valve covers
• Ball valve covers • Gladhand locks

6. Departmental Lock colours
Electrical Mechanical
Operational

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.

8. REQUIREMENTS FOR LOTO DEVICES
•Durable
•Standardized
•Substantial
•Identifiable

9. Lockout Station
All type of LOTO devices should
be kept in LOCKOUT STATION

10. REMEMBER
•One Person
•One Lock
•One Key

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.
• it’s 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 won’t 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
• it’s important to look for any hazardous energy that’s 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 now’s the
time to double-check that you did it all right and it’s 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 machine’s energy sources
 Describes company’s procedures

22. INSPECTION AND TRAINING
2. Retraining :-
• Retraining is required when
 If inspector is not satisfied with employee’s
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

23. REMOVAL AND RE-ENERGIZING
1) Restore work area
2) Inform Affected Employees
3) Remove Devices
4) Re-energize

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

27. Obey LOTO
• Obey LOTO and protect your
coworkers
Because
