Lockout/Tagout Procedure Audits

We’re conducting a site-wide audit of our lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. What common gaps should we watch for?

Look for missing or illegible tags. Workers often overlook tag replacement during routine maintenance.

Ensure all equipment-specific procedures are up to date. Generic LOTO steps can lead to missed hazards.

Verify that all lock points are labeled and easy to access. We found several unmarked points during our last audit.
