LO/TO Policy

1 - Create energy control (LO/TO) policy & procedures


The first step is to develop and document a lockout policy that identifies in detail the purpose and scope of the lockout program.
We can help you to create a roadmap for the successful LO/TO program implementation, where you need to execute an audit of all existing potential sources of hazardous energy, create a list, describe procedures and define responsibilities.

Why do you need lockout procedures?

  • Procedures serve as a check sheet to help employees avoid mistakes and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries.
  • Procedures speed lockout activity, which in turn reduces downtime and improves operational productivity.
  • Documented machine-specific energy control procedures are required by OSHA.

2 - Identify all energy control points


In this step you need to localise and clearly mark all energy control points, including valves, switches, breakers and plugs, with permanently placed labels or tags. Our label makers and Do-It-Yourself Signmarking printing systems together with durable label materials are designed to provide you with reliable and long-lasting identification.

3 - Equip authorised employees with the proper lockout tools and warning devices


Brady offers a comprehensive line of LO/TO devices and tools:

  • Padlocks include safety, non-conductive, brass,
  • Lockouts include Valve, Universal and Circuit breakers, Tags, Labels, Lockout Boxes, Padlock Stations and much more!
