4 What Is Lockout Tagout Industrial workers are greatly exposed to electrical and mechanical hazards while servicing equipment and machinery. FACT: Unprotected workers are killed or injured due to workplace accidents. Europe imposes firm regulations (several) that require all power sources to be disabled during the maintenance and repair of industrial machinery. Lockout Tagout is an important security procedure that involves shutting off the power to industrial machines or equipment during maintenance or repair Lockout Tagout procedures prevent the accidental activation of equipment and minimizes the electrical and mechanical hazards faced by industrial workers.

5 Definition of Lockout Lockout : The placement of a locking device on an energy control device which COMMUNICATES that the equipment being controlled should NOT be operated until the locking device has been removed THREE main types of energy that LOTO is concerned with are: Mechanical the movement of a piece of machinery E.g. a printing press Chemical - The flow of a substance or chemical in a pipe E.g. steam/water Electrical The flow of electricity in an exposed installation Locking out prevents the release of unforeseen and dangerous energy surges
