Define the steps your employees must take to isolate equipment from its energy sources so that your employees can complete maintenance work on the equipment without suffering bodily harm or other potential dangers in the event of the unexpected startup of the equipment or the release of stored energy. For example, define the steps necessary to isolate a jammed conveyor system from its energy sources so that the work performing maintenance and clearing the jam is not injured by the unexpected startup or release of the conveyor system.

  1. On any of the equipment screens, select the asset, position, system, or location for which to define lockout/tagout details, and then click the LOTO tab.

  2. Click Add LOTO Record.

  3. Specify this information:

    Sequence - Specify the sequence in which to implement lockout/tagout procedures.

    Isolation Type - Select the isolation type or method for isolating or disconnecting equipment, such as a water valve, from its energy source in order that work can be performed without risk or injury.

    Isolation Step - Select to indicate this procedure is an isolation step and not a de-isolation step.

    Isolation Point - Specify the isolation point or area the equipment can be isolated from its energy sources to prevent injury from unexpected startup.

    Location Note - Specify any additional notes on the location of the equipment as necessary.

    Energy Source - Select the equipment's source of energy such as electrical power.

    Isolation Method - Specify the method by which to isolate the equipment from its energy source.

    Number of Tags - Specify the number of tags required to properly lock and tag the equipment so that automatic startup of the equipment is prevented.

    Residual Energy - Select the source of residual energy to the equipment if any.
