Purpose of LOTO Program

• LOTO is a procedure used to control sources of hazardous energy

• Example of hazardous energy include:
• Electrical
• Pneumatic
• Hydraulic
• Potential
• Thermal
• Mechanical

Any type of energy that can harm a person is a hazardous energy

8
HAZARDS
LOTO PRACTICE

• Energy isolating devices, locking devices,

locks, and tags are used to safely isolate
sources of hazardous energy
• Examples of isolation devices include:
• Circuit breakers
• Disconnect switch
• Manual isolation valves
• Blank flange, slip blind, or other
physical block inserted into piping
• Physical separation (e.g. lifted leads,
removed pipe spools, misaligned pipe)

10
 LOTO PROCEDURE

• All LOTOs must be initiated by an

Authorized Tagging Authority (ATA)
• The ATA is the primary holder of the
LOTO, other holders (including
Affected Employees) may sign on and,
if applicable, hang their locks

Personal locks placed on energy isolating

devices without a LOTO currently in place are
not allowed.

 Do Not Operate (DNO) Tags

• When an energy isolating device has been

isolated as part of a LOTO a red Do Not
Operate (DNO) tag will be hung on the
device
• Each lock and locking device must be
accompanied by a DNO tag

NEVER REMOVE A DNO TAG FROM A DEVICE

PERMIT TO WORK (PTW) Procedure

• If at any time Construction needs to

perform activities on a system that has
been turned over to Commissioning a
Permit to Work (PTW) must be obtained
first
• Construction must request a permit from
Commissioning prior to activity starting
• Commissioning will identify hazards and
necessary LOTOs to be performed to keep
Construction employees safe

NEVER WORK on a system turned over to

Commissioning without a PTW

systems are turned over from Construction
to Commissioning
• When a system is turned over to
Commissioning yellow System Under Test
(SUT) tags will be hung on the components
of that system

Never remove a SUT tag from a system

1. If the LOTO does not already exist, notify your foreman and
an ATA about the need for the LOTO. The ATA can initiate the
process.
2. Once the LOTO has been created, review the isolation log
and verify that all hazardous energy sources have been safely
isolated.
3. Sign on to the LOTO Holder sheet located in the LOTO
Office.
4. Hang your personal lock on the lock box located in the
LOTO Office.
