What Is Lockout Tagout

“Lockout Tagout is an important security procedure that involves shutting off the power to industrial machines or equipment during maintenance or repair”

Lockout Tagout procedures prevent the accidental activation of equipment and minimizes the electrical and mechanical hazards faced by industrial workers.

FACT: Unprotected workers are killed or injured due to workplace accidents. Europe imposes firm regulations (several) that require all power sources to be disabled during the maintenance and repair of industrial machinery.

Industrial workers are greatly exposed to electrical and mechanical hazards while servicing equipment and machinery.


Definition of LockoutDefinition of LockoutLockout : The placement of a locking device on an energy control device which COMMUNICATES that the equipment being controlled should NOT be operated until the locking device has been removed

Locking out prevents the release of unforeseen and dangerous energy surges

THREE main types of energy that LOTO is concerned with are:

Mechanical the movement of a piece of machinery E.g. a printing pressChemical - The flow of a substance or chemical in a pipe E.g. steam/waterElectrical The flow of electricity in an exposed installation


Definition of TagoutDefinition of TagoutTAGOUT is the placement of a tag which indicates that the energy-isolating device and the equipment being controlled MUST NOT be operated until the tag has been removed.

Tagout helps communicate the risk

Why Lockout Tagout / AdvantagesWhy Lockout Tagout / Advantages

* Safe Working - protects industrial workers* Prevents accidents and injuries* Protects equipment from damage* Minimizes workplace errors* Raises level of awareness on industrial hazards

“It is a procedure which clearly communicates risk in the workplace”

Lockout tagout is normally used when maintenance work is being performed.

This could be: Cleaning equipmentAdjusting equipmentRepairing equipmentWhen equipment is being set up or installed

It acts as a tool to communicate what is being done, who is doing it, where and for how long.


Relevant Legislation

Provision of Work Equipment Regulations 1998Regulation 19 – Isolation from Sources of Energy,

Paragraph 2.14, European Union (EU) Guidelines 89/655"Every piece of equipment must be fitted with clearly visible devices with which it can be separated from every energy source.“

OSHA 1910.147(a)(3)(i), The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), “employers to establish a program and utilize procedures for affixing appropriate lockout devices” (Occupational Safety and Health Association)

The Regulators View – HSE

“The primary responsibility or managing risks rests with those who create the risk in the first place – that means employers, self employed and manufacturers or suppliers of articles or substances for use at work”

Judith Hackett – HSE Chair

Most comprehensive legislation worldwide regarding LOTO is in the US
