LOTO is intended to provide effective safety in the modern industrial workplace. It saves lives by protecting workers from hazardous energy, and it reduces downtime by streamlining and standardizing work processes. For successful implementation of Lockout Tagout in an industry, it is important to have awareness about LOTO and a well-developed LOTO System. Lack of knowledge and absence of LOTO system, leads to uncalled eventualities. Even with the re-occurrence of repeated incidences, the workers and the management are not sure that it is due to the absence of proper LOTO System in place.

The employer is to establish an Energy Control Program - comprising of the energy control procedures, employee training and periodic inspections, all of which help to ensure that the machine and equipment are properly isolated from their energy sources, and rendered inoperative prior to any servicing and maintenance.

A well-defined energy control policy and procedure helps in planned and systematic working of the machines and equipment; Employee training is needed to provide employees with knowledge, skills and motivation to effectively implement a successful Lockout Tagout Program; Audits & periodic inspections help companies insure that, they have the up-to-date & accurate devices and procedures that allow employees of the companies to safely de-energize the equipment.

Machine Specific Lockout Tagout procedures are an integral part of any Energy control program. E-Square customized MSP procedures are the most sought after by its customers who value the life of their workers and safety of their establishments.
