Basic LOTO
This safety procedure ensures machines are properly shut off and not started up again before service or maintenance.
What is Lockout/Tagout?
This is the most common type of hazardous energy in workplaces.
What is electrical energy?
The first step: informing employees before shutting equipment down.
What is notification?
This U.S. agency regulates lockout/tagout requirements.
What is OSHA?
This happens if equipment is energized unexpectedly during maintenance.
What is injury or fatality?
This device physically prevents equipment from being energized.
What is a lock?
Energy stored in compressed air systems is called this.
What is pneumatic energy?
Turning off the machine using normal controls is this step.
What is shutdown?
The OSHA regulation number for lockout/tagout standard.
What is 29 CFR 1910.147?
Placing your personal lock ensures this type of safety.
What is personal protection/control?
This identifies who applied the lock and why.
What is a tag?
This type of energy comes from fluids under pressure.
What is hydraulic energy?
Disconnecting equipment from its energy source is called this.
What is isolation?
This is required when more than one worker performs maintenance.
What is group lockout/tagout?
Never trust this—always verify zero energy before working.
What is someone else’s lockout?
These workers perform servicing and must apply locks and tags.
Who are authorized employees?
Springs or elevated machine parts are examples of this type of stored energy.
What is mechanical energy?
Releasing or blocking stored energy is this step.
What is energy dissipation?
Locks must be this—only the person who applied them can remove them.
What is uniquely identifiable?
This must be removed before equipment is returned to service.
What is all locks and tags?
This type of employee works around equipment but does not perform LOTO.
Who are affected employees?
Heat or cold energy systems fall under this category.
What is thermal energy?
Ensuring no energy remains by trying to start equipment is called this.
What is verification?
This must be done periodically to ensure LOTO procedures are followed.
What is an annual inspection (audit)?
Failing to follow LOTO can result in this for companies.
What are fines, penalties, or citations?
