The lockout tagout (LOTO) function is a safety procedure used in industrial and manufacturing settings to ensure that dangerous machines and equipment are properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work. The process involves the use of locks and tags to isolate the energy sources of the equipment, such as electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic power, to prevent accidental startup.
Lockout refers to physically locking the energy-isolating device in the off or safe position, using a lock to prevent the equipment from being energized. Tagout involves attaching a prominent tag to the locked device to provide a clear warning that the equipment must not be operated until the maintenance work is complete.
The lockout tagout function is a critical safety measure to protect workers from the unexpected release of hazardous energy during maintenance or repair activities, and it is an important part of workplace safety regulations.
