Many serious accidents have occurred due to an equipment started running when it was supposed to shut off for repairs or maintenance. These accidents are usually the result of energy that hasn't been released properly. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems help to prevent these accidents by making sure that machines remain completely off until a person authorized releases them.
The LOTO system is comprised of a number of locks, tags and other devices that are used to secure, isolate or shut off the machine from electrical sources. All "affected", "authorized" and "qualified" personnel must be trained on the use of lockout and tagout devices. These devices include but not limited to locks, chains padlocks, wedges adapter pins and self-locking fasteners. Each device is uniquely identified and labeled, including the date and the time it was put in use along with the name and title of the person who is authorized, and the purpose of the lockout/tagout (repairs, maintenance and so on.). It should be clear that these devices cannot be removed until a thorough LOTO procedure has been carried out.
