Lockout Tagout

Our animation provides an example of how the Lockout Tagout procedure can prevent injury and be life-saving in the workplace.

The procedure serves four very important purposes:
- To protect the person working on the equipment;
- To protect other workers in the area;
- To protect the equipment; and
- To serve as a communication device for all involved.

LOTO Is Required When:
- Servicing or maintaining energized equipment;
- Safety guards are removed or bypassed; and
- Worker has to place any part of his or her body in the equipment’s point of operation.
