Many serious accidents have occurred because a machine was started when it should have been completely shut off to repair or maintenance. These incidents are typically the result of energy that was not released properly. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems help prevent these incidents by ensuring that the machines remain off until the person who is authorized releases them.
The LOTO system consists of a number of locks tags, locks, and other equipment that are used to secure, isolate or block the machine from electrical sources. All "affected" and "authorized" personnel should be trained on the use of these lockout/tag-out devices. These devices include but are not only chains, locks, padlocks, wedges, adapter pins, and self-locking fasteners. Each device is uniquely identified and labeled with the date and time at which it was put in use, the name and title of the person who was authorized to use it, and the purpose of the lockout/tagout (repairs, maintenance and so on.). It is essential to clearly state that the devices cannot be removed until the LOTO procedure is complete.
