Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) is a critical safety procedure used across industries to protect workers from the accidental release of hazardous energy during maintenance or repair work. It involves two main components： locking and tagging. The purpose of LOTO is to ensure that machinery or equipment remains de-energized and cannot be turned on or activated while maintenance is being performed. This procedure helps prevent injuries and fatalities that could result from unexpected machinery movements or the release of hazardous energy.
