Lock Out, Tag Out

Overview

Every year workers in NZ are killed or seriously

injured due to poor or non-existent lockout

procedures.

Lockout, tag out (LOTO) procedures are designed to

safeguard workers from the unexpected start-up or

energisation of machinery, equipment, or the

release of energy sources, e.g. pressurised liquids,

steam during maintenance or service.

Trainees will learn how to identify and become

familiar with the use of different types of lockout

devices. They will understand the need for a

systematic approach for the application and removal

of lock out devices. They will learn how to assess the

integrity of the lockout through a verification process

before undertaking service or maintenance tasks.

Trainees will carry out a practical task of lockout

and reinstatement of equipment according to their

organisational procedures.
