Lockout Tagout
The OSHA standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy is also known as Lockout/Tagout. A LOTO program addresses the steps necessary to disable machinery or equipment that could release hazardous energy or start unexpectedly during servicing or maintenance activities. The OSHA standard covers a number of specific hazardous energies, including electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, chemical, and thermal. Compliance with the lockout/tagout standard prevents an estimated 120 fatalities and 50,000 injuries each year. Let Fox Valley Safety get your program into compliance!
