LOTO Sequence, Lesson by Lesson

The lessons follow the order of a real lockout, which makes the sequence easier to remember on the job.

  1. Energy source identification

    Mapping electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical and other energy on real equipment.

  2. The shutdown and isolation sequence

    Each step from notifying affected workers to isolating every source.

  3. Locks, tags and verification

    Applying devices and proving the machine is at zero energy.

  4. Stored and residual energy

    Capacitors, springs, trapped pressure and gravity.

  5. Group LOTO and shift changes

    Keeping protection continuous when several workers share one machine.

  6. Restoration

    Clearing the area, notifying people and re-energizing safely.

Who Locks Out

Anyone who services, repairs or clears equipment needs this foundation.

Competencies

  • List every energy source on a machine

  • Apply locks and tags in the right order

  • Perform a try-out to verify zero energy

  • Transfer lockout safely at shift change
