Your Guide to Lockout/Tagout Solutions

Lockout/tagout (LOTO) devices and procedures are essential for a safe industrial workplace. Utilized during machine servicing and routine maintenance, they prevent machines, equipment, or processes from being accidentally energized or started.

Effective lockout solutions—including safety padlocks, valve lockout devices, and electrical lockouts—securely isolate energy sources. This protects workers from unexpected startups, reduces injury risk, and ensures compliance with safety standards like CSA Z460 and OSHA 1910.147. Discover the energy control devices you need to secure your facility.

What Is Lockout/Tagout?

LOTO is a safety procedure to ensure that machines are properly shut off and unable to start up again before maintenance or repair work is completed. It involves isolating energy sources and locking them in an "off" position, then tagging them with safety information.

Regulations such as CSA Z460 in Canada (and OSHA 1910.147 in the United States) outline specific requirements for implementing a lockout/tagout program. Following these standards enhances safety and protects your organization from compliance violations.
