Definition Of Lockout/Tagout LOTO
Lockout means to physically neutralize all energies in a piece of equipment before beginning any maintenance or repair work. It generally involves:
- Stopping all energy flows (for example: by turning off switches or valves on supply lines.
- Locking switches and valves.
- Securing the machine, device or power transmission line in a de-energized state (for example: by applying blocks and blanks or pneumatic pressure from lines.
Tagout means placing a warning tag or sign on energy isolating device, a warning not to operate the machinery until the tagout device is removed.
It alerts other employees the status of machine or system, about why it has been taken out of service and the identity of the individual who has applied the lockout.
