Many serious accidents have occurred as a result of a machine started up when it was supposed to be turned off for maintenance or repairs. These accidents are often the result of stored energy that is not properly released. Lock-out tag-out (LOTO) systems can help avoid these incidents by ensuring that machines remain completely off until an authorized person releases them.

All "affected" and "authorized" personnel should be trained on the use of these lockout/tag-out devices. These devices include but aren't limited to locks, chains padlocks, wedges adapter pins, and self-locking fasteners. Each device is identified and labelled, including the date and the time it was applied, the name and title of the authorized person and the reason for the lockout/tagout (repairs maintenance, repairs or repairs, etc.). It is imperative to state clearly that these devices will not be removed until the LOTO procedure is completed.
