Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Audit
LOCKOUT-TAGOUT (LOTO) OR LOCK AND TAG is a safety procedure that is used in industry to ensure that electrical switches are properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work associated with the switch. It requires that hazardous energy sources be “isolated and rendered inoperative” before work is started on the equipment in question.
The isolated power sources are then locked and a tag is placed on the lock identifying the worker who has placed it. The worker then holds the key for the lock ensuring that only he or she can start the machine. This prevents accidental startup of a machine while a worker is in direct contact with it.
LOTO Audit is the process of auditing a facility’s lockouts and tagouts. This audit will include a check of the facility’s procedures for conducting lockouts and tagouts. It should also include checks of the physical plant (equipment, structures) to ensure that it meets standards for safety, quality, and convenience.
LOTO Audit will serve as a safeguard against any potential hazards, which could result in loss of life or injury to those who work with the equipment.
LOTO Audit involves auditing the safety of your facility and its equipment, as well as doing a functional evaluation of the safety functions of your facility. The audit should be conducted by an expert who understands lockout/tagout procedures and protocols, so that you can make sure that you are doing everything correctly.
LOTO Assessment:
The purpose of this program is to provide a system for the lockout/ tagout (LOTO) of energy isolating devices and therefore protect employees from potentially hazardous energy. Wherever possible, energy-isolating devices should be locked out. Before the employee’s services, repair, or perform maintenance, the machine or equipment must be isolated from all potentially hazardous energy, and the isolating energy device(s) from the machine or equipment must be locked and tagged out.
This program applies to all authorized and affected employees. It does not apply to cord and plug-type equipment provided that the person performing the service is in control of the unplugged cord.
