Many serious accidents have occurred as a result of a machine started up when it was supposed to be shut off to prevent repairs or maintenance. These accidents are usually the result of stored energy that has not been properly released. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems help prevent these incidents by ensuring that machines are off until the person who is authorized releases them.
The LOTO system is made up of a number of locks, tags, and other devices used to secure, isolate, or block a machine from electricity. All "affected" and "authorized" personnel must be educated on the use of these devices. These devices include but not only chains, locks padlocks and wedges, adapter pins, and self-locking fasteners. Each device is identified and labeled with the date and time of application and the name of the authorized person, and the reason for the tag-out or lockout (repair or maintenance, for example). It should be stated clearly that these devices are not able to be removed until a full LOTO procedure has been followed.
