Companies that fall
under these regulations must have procedures in place for LOTO of all
applicable equipment and machinery. In addition to having the procedures
in place, employers are required to conduct annual inspections of their
procedures to ensure they are in full compliance.
How can APS help?
APS
specialists have decades of experience developing LOTO Procedures for a
wide range of
industrial processes and manufacturing equipment.
Some of our clients have LOTO programs that exceed 10,000 procedures
while others may only require a handful of procedures.
We
do not have a single “cookie cutter” LOTO format. We believe your
business is unique; as such your LOTO program should perfectly match
your requirements.
APS can assist your organization in all phases of your LOTO
program. For some of our clients, we provide complete LOTO support,
including analysis and development of the LOTO program and writing of
all required LOTO procedures.
For other clients, we may perform only a specific portion of these
services, as much or little as required to meet our clients’ needs. This
may include:
-
Writing
lockout tagout procedures for your equipment
-
Reviewing and
auditing of your existing procedures
-
Re-writing
your old procedures to incorporate modifications to equipment and
transitioning to an efficient format that is easier to use and is
compliant with current regulations
-
Training for your employees on
procedures and compliance

Lockout Tagout (LOTO) refers to specific practices and
procedures to safeguard employees from the unexpected energization or
startup of machinery and equipment, or the release of hazardous energy
during service or maintenance activities.
