PowerPoint Presentation

[Audio] Good morning everyone! Today, I will be discussing Lock Out Tag Out procedures, and the importance of understanding and applying the fundamental concepts of LOTO. We'll be looking at recognizing different types of energy sources, safely shutting down and isolating equipment, and using adjustable gate valve lockouts and multi-purpose cable lockouts. So, let's begin!.

[Audio] LOTO, or Lock Out Tag Out, is a safety procedure to protect personnel from the unexpected startup or release of up energy during service or maintenance of machines and other equipment. This procedure ensures that the machines and equipment are properly sealed off with locks and tags to prevent anyone from accidentally or unauthorizedly activating them. This 1-hour course is designed to familiarize technicians, supervisors and facility managers with the use of LOTO system. During the session, participants will be guided on the components of a LOTO system, its enforcement, and finally, there will be an assessment to evaluate their understanding of the procedure. For any queries or concerns, contact our team at [email protected]..

[Audio] Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) is an essential procedure for any working system that seeks to protect workers and equipment from hazardous energy sources. It involves a thorough inspection of the area to identify any potential sources of energy that could cause harm, followed by locking and tagging those sources so that they are not accidentally activated while maintenance work is being carried out. This procedure is a key component of any health and safety policy..

[Audio] LOTO, or Lockout-Tagout, is an essential process for safely servicing and maintaining equipment. It requires careful implementation of 8 key steps in order to ensure hazardous energy is isolated and rendered harmless. These steps are: identify the energy sources; inform all personnel of the work that is due to be carried out; shut down the equipment; isolate and verify the equipment; lock out and tag out the equipment; release any stored energy; verify the isolation; and begin the servicing and maintenance of the equipment. Following these steps ensures everyone involved is safe while the equipment is serviced..

[Audio] When working around machines and equipment, it is essential to be aware of the various types of energy that may be present. Electrical energy, pressure energy, and chemical energy are all examples of hazardous energies that should be identified and taken into account when creating a lockout/tagout procedure. Identifying and understanding all energy sources is the initial step in putting into effect a successful lockout/tagout program..

[Audio] Ensuring workers' safety when dealing with complex industrial machinery and equipment requires the implementation of multiple procedures to prevent dangerous energy sources from being activated. Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedure is one of the most effective as it involves using a Multi-Purpose Cable to ensure all energy sources are securely locked out and tagged out before any work can start. Implementing Mechanical LOTO can ensure your employees are protected from the risk of injury or worse when working with machinery..

[Audio] It's essential to keep your workplace safe by following lockout/tagout procedures. One way to ensure safety is to use pneumatic lockout devices which can be used as part of LOTO – lockout, tag out – for a range of industrial applications. With these devices, you can easily lock out high purity valves, gas valves, and ABS gas cylinder tanks. Investing in these items will help you to keep your workplace secure and your staff safe..

[Audio] It is essential to shut off the equipment after the LOTO register has been completed and the equipment owner has been informed. Taking this extra step will help eliminate any potential hazards regarding the equipment, thus making the job execution safe..

[Audio] Isolating equipment is essential for Step 4, thereby requiring a qualified person to disconnect it while also wearing necessary Personal Protective Equipment. Common isolation techniques, like closing valves and opening electrical disconnects, must be used to ensure safety. Additionally, to further guarantee safety, when opening electrical disconnects, it is advisable to stand to one side to avoid potential electric arcs..

[Audio] To ensure safety when lockout-tagging out equipment, only approved locks and tags should be utilized. Never lend or borrow locks or keys, and never use LOTO locks and tags for any other purpose. The tags should include the necessary details for the task, following this protocol is critical for safe working practices and to ensure no one is injured while operating the equipment..

[Audio] Ensuring the Lockout/Tagout procedure is followed is critical for workplace safety. Step 6 requires ensuring tools and equipment have been properly tested to guarantee there is no energy present and that they are safe to utilize. Examination should include voltage, gauges, double block and bleed, and temperature. When it has been confirmed that there is no energy, the equipment should be left OFF and anyone impacted in the area must be informed of any work to be done. This is a crucial step that can potentially save lives..

[Audio] Verification of isolation in Step 7 is imperative. To accomplish this, mechanical motion must be ceased, gravity must be secured with blocks and pins, heat up and cool down of thermal energy is necessary, springs need to be blocked, tagged and locked to stop stored mechanical energy, and capacitors must have power drained from them or pressure must be bled off cautiously and gradually to discharge any potential energy..

[Audio] Once the safety checks have been completed, release locks and tags. All affected employees should be contacted so they can return to work. Verify that the area is secure, with safety devices and guards in place and operational. Remove lock and tag, and communicate system energization. Reenergize equipment and test its functionality..

[Audio] Safety is our number one priority. We are all responsible for preventing injury to ourselves or others, and the Lock Out, Tag Out (LOTO) protocol is essential to achieving this. It involves isolating hazardous energy sources from an energy-using piece of equipment during maintenance, repair, or service. With this protocol, we can make a difference when it comes to safety. Taking this advice to heart is highly recommended..
