Lockout / Tagout Compliance

Step 1: Develop and document a Written Lockout / Tagout Program

The first step to lockout/tagout compliance is developing a written summary lockout / tagout program or policy.

This program documents and summarizes the various aspects of your control of hazardous energy program, including the purpose, scope, energy control procedures, training, and periodic inspections, among others.

According to OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.147(c) regulation, a written lockout / tagout program should, at minimum, cover the following aspects:

  • Lockout Tagout ProceduresPurpose and scope of the program
  • Personnel authorized to perform LOTO
  • Enforcement policy
  • Training methods
  • Group lockout procedures
  • Shift transfer procedures
  • Lock removal procedures
