Our hands-on workshops reinforce learning through field observation of real-world applications, ensuring your team can effectively execute these procedures in the field. After completing the course, participants will receive a certificate of completion and ongoing support.
Periodic Inspections
OSHA requires annual inspections, but the real value comes from catching issues early. Our technicians evaluate your existing procedures against OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, observing both the documentation and the LOTO procedures in the field. Our inspection consists of:
-
Inspection and documentation of existing lockout procedures against OSHA 1910.147.
-
Review of Lockout Tagout Procedures for the efficacy of bringing the equipment to a zero energy status
-
Update the lockout tagout procedure to address any errors.
-
Replace or add missing isolation point tags
-
Inspection and Documentation of Authorized Employees performing Lockout Tagout.
-
Documentation of Lockout Tagout Program Concerns.
Written Lockout Tagout Program
Your LOTO policy should set clear expectations and align with how work gets done in the field. We help you develop written programs that define authority, energy control, and responsibilities in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 and ANSI Z244.1. An effective written program will consist of:
-
Responsibilities
-
Guide for Applying and Removing Lockout
-
Testing and Positioning of Machines
-
Tag Out Practices
-
Padlock Scheme
-
Group Lockout
-
Shift and Personnel Changes
-
Emergency Lockout Removal
-
Training Requirements
-
Contractor and Vendor Compliance
-
Permit to Work
-
Periodic Evaluations
-
Change Management
The result is a clear, structured lockout tagout policy that keeps your team aligned, supports compliance, and ensures your program operates as a complete, effective system.
Padlock & Device Selection
Picking the right hardware matters. Based on your environment and procedures, we help specify the correct padlocks, hasps, valve lockouts, and devices so crews have the right tools to do the job safely, every time.
We assess how your equipment is actually isolated in the field and ensure the devices used align with your energy control procedures, reducing confusion and improving consistency during lockout tagout execution. The goal is to create a setup that is practical, repeatable, and easy for your team to follow under real working conditions.
The result is a more consistent lockout tagout process in which the right devices are used correctly, supporting both safety and compliance across your operation.
