Many serious accidents have occurred because a machine was turned on when it should have been completely shut off to repair or maintenance. These accidents are usually caused by energy that hasn't been released properly. Lock-out-tag-out (LOTO) that ensures that machines are off until a designated individual releases them, helps avoid these types of accidents.
The LOTO system is made up of a number of locks, tags and other devices to isolate, secure, or block a machine from an electric source. All "affected" and "authorized" personnel must be educated on the use of these lockout/tag-out devices. These devices include but are not limited to locks, chains padlocks, wedges adapter pins, and self-locking fasteners. Each device is unique and labeled, including the date and time it was put in use along with the name and title of the person who is authorized and the reason for the lockout/tagout (repairs, maintenance and so on.). It must also be clearly stated that these devices can't be removed until an entire LOTO procedure has been completed.
