Introduction

    Safety in industrial environments is paramount, especially when workers are exposed to hazardous equipment or machinery. One crucial aspect of workplace safety is the Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure, which ensures that equipment is safely shut down, isolated from energy sources, and remains inactive during maintenance. At the heart of the LOTO system is the use of LOTOTO locks. These specialized locks are essential for preventing the accidental release of hazardous energy and ensuring that only authorized personnel can restore equipment to operation. This article explores the importance, types, and best practices associated with LOTOTO locks.
