Introduction

In industrial environments, machinery and equipment often pose significant risks to workers, especially when they are undergoing maintenance or repair. One of the most effective ways to mitigate these risks is through the implementation of Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) locks, a safety procedure designed to prevent the unexpected release of hazardous energy. By using locks and tags, workers can isolate energy sources and ensure that machinery cannot be started while maintenance or repair work is ongoing. This article explores the concept, importance, and practical implementation of Lock Out Tag Out locks in workplace safety.
