Master Lock is digitizing Lockout Tagout (LOTO) programs to improve safety and drive accountability.
Lockout Tagout, Explained
Lockout Tagout (LOTO) safety programs and procedures ensure that machines and equipment are properly shutdown when maintenance and repair work is needed to prevent accidents, ensure compliance to regulations including OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910.147, and most importantly protect lives.
A Wall Street Journal article from October 3, 2024 headlined Factory Workers Are Dying Because Machines Aren’t Being Turned Off, emphasized LOTO as a critical tool to prevent major injuries and death in manufacturing facilities.
The story states, “Lockouts are designed to prevent employees from being hurt by machines that start unexpectedly. Every year, an average of 85 people are killed and 364 suffer amputations, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Among manufacturers, violations related to the lockout standard are the most common safety citations issued by OSHA inspectors.”
