Introduction

    In industrial settings, the safety of workers is paramount. One of the most effective methods to ensure worker protection during maintenance or servicing of machinery is the implementation of Safety Lockout Tagout (LOTO) procedures. Lockout Tagout (LOTO) is a set of practices designed to prevent the accidental release of hazardous energy while servicing or maintaining equipment. These procedures are vital for safeguarding workers from potential injuries or fatalities caused by unexpected machine start-up, electrical shock, or the release of stored energy. This article provides an overview of the Safety Lockout Tagout system, its components, importance, and the key steps in its implementation.
