Employers, protect employees against injury from accidental opening of energy sources by instituting this Lockout & Tagout (LOTO) Policy.

The Policy outlines the procedure to be followed with respect to all energized systems that might cause injury or property damage, such as electrical, steam, hydraulic, chemical, compressed air, kinetic or other systems. It also sets out the General Rules to be observed by all personnel to minimize the risk of unexpected or accidental activation of any energy source.

This Lockout & Tagout (LOTO) Policy was developed by Lyall Hodgson, an OHS specialist, and is provided in MS Word format. Keep your workplace safe by keeping workers informed.
