LOTO TRAINING MODULE

[Audio] Welcome to online safety training platform Today we are going to discuss about "LOTO TRAINING MODULE"..

[Audio] TRAINING AGENDA INVOLVES Definition Risks involved Importance of LOTO Type of energies Procedure Do's and Don't's.

[Audio] DEFINITION: Lock Out Tag Out(LOTO) is a safety procedure used to ensure that dangerous equipment is properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or repair work. As per OSHA(29 CFR 1910.147) regulatory standard, "The employer shall establish an (energy control) program consisting of energy control procedures, employee training and periodic inspections to ensure that before any employee performs any servicing or maintenance on a machine or equipment where the unexpected energizing, startup or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or equipment shall be isolated from the energy source and rendered inoperative." A complete set of LOTO consists 1.LOTO station 2. Lock & key 3. Placard 4. Tag 5. Energy identification sticker 6. Hasp & group LOTO box.

[Audio] LOTO STATION A LOTO station is a wall cabinet that provides secure storage for LOTO tools and allows workers to locate the equipment they need to operate safely The purpose of these lock stations is to make safety locks easily accessible to all . LOCK & KEY A LOTO padlock should only have one key. The worker who locks the isolated power sources holds the key for the lock, ensuring that only they can remove the lock and start the equipment. One person, One lock, One key practice should be preferred PLACARD LOTO safety placards are used to inform workers and visitors of the hazards associated with specific machinery or equipment and to remind them of the procedures that must be followed to ensure their safety. These placards are signs or posters that are displayed in prominent areas, such as near machinery or equipment, to provide visual reminders of the importance of LOTO.

[Audio] TAG Tags must be used as an integral part of the LOTO program to indicate that the equipment is being serviced or maintained and should not be turned on until the maintenance or servicing is complete. Tags must include specific signal words such as Do Not Start, Do Not Open, Do Not Close, Do Not Energize, Do Not Operate. "Danger," "Caution," or "Biological Hazard," ENERGY IDENTIFICATION They can help in identifying energy control points and inform employees of potential safety threats. HASP Multiple padlocks can be applied to Loto Hasp, allowing an energy source to be isolated by more than one worker. LOTO BOX The main purpose of a LOTO box is to secure safety padlock keys that are being used in a lockout tagout procedure. This means that the energy source is completely locked out and can't be operated until each worker unlocks their padlock from the hasp or lock box..

[Audio] Difference between Lock Out & Tag Out: Lockout involves physically isolating the machinery or equipment from its energy source by using a lock or other mechanism to secure the energy-isolating device, such as a switch or valve. The lock ensures that the energy source cannot be turned on until the lock is removed by the person who installed it, indicating that maintenance or servicing work is complete. Tagout involves using a tag or label to indicate that the machinery or equipment will not be operated until maintenance or servicing work is complete. The tag warns workers that the equipment is not to be used and may include information about the reason for the tagout and the expected completion time. Risks involved are Crushing accidents from moving parts of machinery or equipment Burn accidents from thermal energy that can cause severe injuries and fatalities Severe shock injuries and electrocution fatalities from electrical energy Exposure to hazardous substances or gases from pipes or tanks.

[Audio] Importance Of LOTO In The Workplace Protecting Workers Compliance Preventing Accidents Enhancing Safety Culture The primary objectives of LOTO safety are: To prevent accidental or unintended activation of equipment or machinery that can cause serious injury or death to workers. Ensure that equipment or machinery is safely isolated from energy sources, such as electricity, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, or thermal energy, during maintenance, servicing, or repair work. To provide a clear and standardized system of procedures, including locks, tags, and warning signs, to prevent unauthorized use or accidental activation of equipment or machinery. To promote a workplace safety culture by providing training, communication, and support to workers to ensure they understand the importance of LOTO safety and can implement the procedures effectively..

[Audio] PROCEDURE Step 1: Preparation Step 2: Notify & Shut Down Step 3: Isolation Step 4: Lockout/Tagout Step 5: Stored Energy Check Step 6: Isolation Verification.

[Audio] DO'S Identify and isolate all energy sources Check for drain residues Proper training should be provided. Follow LOTO as per procedure Maintain register properly Update LOTO procedures Provide proper info in the tag. DONT'S Do not perform maintenance work on moving machineries. Do not remove someone else's lock or tag. Don't use broken locks. Don't rely on someone else to de-energize a circuit for you. Do not loan your lock or key to someone else..

[Audio] BE SAFE EVERYDAY LET SAFETY LEAD THE WAY THANK YOU.
