Many serious accidents have occurred because an equipment started running when it was supposed to shut off to prevent maintenance or repairs. These accidents are usually the result of energy that hasn't been released correctly. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems help prevent these accidents by making sure that machines are off until an authorized person releases them.
The LOTO system is comprised of a variety of locks, tags and other devices used to secure, isolate the device from an electric source. All "affected" and "authorized" personnel must be educated on the use of these devices. These devices include but are not limited to locks, chains padlocks, wedges adapter pins, and self-locking fasteners. Each device is identified and labelled, including the date and time at which it was applied as well as the name and title of the person who was authorized to use it and the reason for the lockout or tagout (repairs maintenance, repairs and so on.). It is imperative to state clearly that these devices will not be removed until the LOTO procedure is complete.
