Lock Out Tag Out

The lock-out-tag-out process (LOTO) is essential in protecting employees from hazardous conditions when servicing and maintaining machines and equipment on a job site.

This interactive simulation invites participants to explore and practice the steps involved with locking out and tagging out (LOTO) equipment in a safe environment. Based on information available through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website, this simulation guides participants though a background primer, providing context and identifying various parts used in this process. Next, participants engage in a sort-and-match activity which reinforces their understanding of the components and steps. Finally, participants explore a factory setting and put into practice what they learned by locking out and tagging out several control panels connected to manufacturing machinery....
