Lock out, tag out (LOTO) is a
safety procedure used in industry to ensure that dangerous machines are
properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion
of maintenance or repair work.
It requires that hazardous energy sources be
"isolated and rendered inoperative" before work is started on the
equipment in question.
The isolated power sources are then locked and a tag is
placed on the lock identifying the worker who placed it.
The worker then holds the key for the lock, ensuring that only he or she can remove the lock and start the machine.
This prevents accidental startup of a machine while it is in a hazardous state or while a worker is in direct contact with it.
Lockout–tagout is used across industries as a safe method of working on hazardous equipment and is mandated by law in some countries.
