Workplace Electrical Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedures are safety protocols (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147) requiring electrical energy sources to be turned off, isolated, and locked/tagged to prevent accidental machine start-up during maintenance. It protects workers from fatal hazards like electrical shocks, burns, or machinery crushing, by ensuring equipment remains de-energized.  Key Aspects of LOTO Procedures (The 6-Step Process): Preparation: Identify energy sources and notify affected employees. Shutdown: Turn off equipment using normal operating controls. Isolation: Operate energy... Show more
