2.7.1. 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.
