LOTO Sequence, Lesson by Lesson
The lessons follow the order of a real lockout, which makes the sequence easier to remember on the job.
01
Energy source identification
Mapping electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical and other energy on real equipment.
02
The shutdown and isolation sequence
Each step from notifying affected workers to isolating every source.
03
Locks, tags and verification
Applying devices and proving the machine is at zero energy.
04
Stored and residual energy
Capacitors, springs, trapped pressure and gravity.
05
Group LOTO and shift changes
Keeping protection continuous when several workers share one machine.
06
Restoration
Clearing the area, notifying people and re-energizing safely.
Who Locks Out
