Inspection and repair operations must be energy isolated and Lockout tagout

Lockout Tagout (LOTO) is to lock and mark the energy, and take Lockout, tagout, cleaning, testing and other procedures and measures, to achieve effective energy isolation, protect the operation of personnel due to accidental excitation or start of machinery and equipment, or release dangerous energy damage, until the end of the maintenance operation. Locks removed.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80% of equipment maintenance injuries are caused by not stopping machinery or equipment. 10% of devices are started by someone else; Failure to control potential energy includes failure to completely cut off energy and release residual energy; Most of the other 5 percent are due to shutting down power but failing to verify that the shutdown is actually effective.
LOTO is to effectively avoid the maintenance, maintenance, installation or moving: 1, because the equipment is abnormally opened or cut off, suddenly started; 2, because the power source is misoperated, suddenly released; And caused by personnel injury, equipment damage and other accidents, to create a safe working environment effective measures.
Following the Lockout tagout process is the most important safety regulation. During the equipment repair and maintenance, through the implementation of Lockout tagout process to prevent accidents, can ensure the safety of employees, improve the production efficiency of enterprises.
