2.6. Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) Procedures
2.6.1. What is Lockout-Tagout?
Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) is a safety procedure to ensure that a machine is
safely shut off and cannot be powered up or operated while maintenance or
repair work is performed. During a LOTO event, Authorized service personnel
must install locking devices, including padlocks and warning tags, to the
machine’s power controls, electrical plug or remote electrical disconnect switch
(see examples in Figure 2-10). The LOTO devices must only
be removed by
the Authorized service personnel, once they determine that the work is
complete and the machine is safe to operate.

Only Authorized Employees are permitted to perform the LOTO Procedures.
This section is provided for reference only to familiarize operators with the
purpose of Lock-out/Tagout and the devices used.
Operators and/or other Affected Employees: Do not attempt to remove or
defeat the lockout devices or operate the machine while it is locked out.
