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 develop LOTO procedures for all types of industrial
process and manufacturing equipment. We 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 in a format that is more efficient, 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.
