Industrial Manufacturing

1. Core Applications

  • Energy Isolation:
    • Secure electrical circuit breakershydraulic pumpspneumatic valves, and conveyor belts to eliminate risks of unexpected motion, voltage, or pressure release.
    • Common in machinery like CNC machines, presses, robotics, and assembly lines.
  • Critical Equipment:
    • Lockout of motor controlsguards, and feed systems during routine maintenance or tool changes.
    • Isolation of boilerscompressors, and chemical storage tanks to prevent hazardous material leaks.

Steps for Implementing a Lockout Solution (LOTO Procedure)

  • Preparation

    Identify all energy sources connected to the machinery or system that requires servicing.

  • Shutdown

    Power down the equipment following the proper shutdown procedure for the specific machine or system.

  • Isolation

    Physically isolate the machine or equipment from all its energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, etc.) using the appropriate lockout devices (e.g., padlocks, valve lockouts).

  • Lockout

    Apply lockout devices to all energy-isolating points. Each worker involved in the maintenance should apply their own lock, ensuring multiple levels of protection.

  • Tagout

    Attach tags to all locked-out devices, providing clear information about who is responsible for the lockout and the purpose.

  • Release Stored Energy

    Safely release any stored energy (e.g., hydraulic pressure, residual electrical energy) in the system to prevent accidental activation.

  • Verification

    Verify that the lockout was successful by attempting to operate the machine’s controls to ensure it cannot be energized.

  • Maintenance/Servicing

    Perform the required maintenance or servicing while ensuring the lockout remains in place.

  • Re-energizing the Equipment

    After the work is completed, verify that all tools and workers are clear from the area. Remove locks in reverse order, with each worker removing their lock only when their part of the work is complete.

  • Restart

    Restore energy to the equipment and test it to ensure proper functionality.

Lockout Solution FAQ

  • What is Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)?

    -

    Lockout/Tagout is a safety procedure used to ensure machines are completely shut off and cannot be restarted before maintenance or repair work is completed. It involves isolating energy sources and placing locks and tags to prevent accidental start-up.

  • Why is LOTO important in industrial manufacturing?

    +

    In industrial environments, machinery often involves multiple energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.). LOTO prevents serious injuries or fatalities by ensuring these energies are fully controlled during servicing.

  • Who is responsible for performing LOTO?

    +

    Only authorized employees—those trained and approved to perform lockout/tagout—can apply or remove lockout devices. Affected employees (e.g., machine operators) must understand the purpose but cannot perform lockout themselves.

  • What are common energy sources in manufacturing?

    +

    1. Electrical power
    2. Hydraulic pressure
    3. Compressed air (pneumatic)
    4. Stored mechanical energy (springs, flywheels)
    5. Thermal energy (heat or steam)
    6. Chemical energy (hazardous substances)

  • What types of equipment require lockout?

    +

    Conveyor systems
    Press machines
    Injection molding equipment
    CNC machines
    Packaging equipment
    Mixers, blenders, and rotating equipment
    Electrical panels and control cabinets

  • How often must LOTO procedures be reviewed?

    +

    Annually. OSHA and most global safety standards require a yearly audit of LOTO procedures to ensure compliance and effectiveness.

  • What should be included in a LOTO program?

    +

    A written LOTO policy
    Machine-specific procedures
    Proper lockout/tagout devices
    Employee training
    Regular audits and inspections
    Documentation and record-keeping

  • Can multiple employees lock out the same equipment?

    +

    Yes. This is called a group lockout. Each worker applies their personal lock to a group lockout device (like a hasp or group lock box). The equipment cannot be re-energized until every lock is removed.
