What is LOTO Audit?
A LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) Audit is a systematic evaluation of an organization’s energy isolation and control procedures. It ensures that machines and equipment are properly shut off and cannot be restarted until maintenance or servicing work is safely completed. The audit verifies compliance with safety standards, identifies gaps in procedures, and ensures the safety of employees working on or around hazardous energy sources.
Why is LOTO Audit Important?
• Prevents unexpected start-up of equipment and release of hazardous energy.
• Protects workers from severe injuries, fatalities, and accidents.
• Ensures compliance with OSHA, ISO, and other safety regulations.
• Improves maintenance efficiency and minimizes downtime.
• Reduces the risk of costly accidents, legal liabilities, and insurance claims.
