Step 1 of 4
What type of equipment is serviced or maintained?
Select the option that best describes the equipment being worked on. OSHA 1910.147 applies to any equipment that could unexpectedly energise, start up, or release stored energy during servicing or maintenance.
⚙️Production Machinery
⚡Electrical Equipment
💧Hydraulic or Pneumatic Systems
🔁Conveyors and Material Handling
💨HVAC and Utilities
🚗Vehicles and Mobile Equipment
🔆Pressure Vessels and Piping
🧪Process Equipment and Reactors
🔧Other
Step 2 of 4
Which energy sources does the equipment use?
Select all energy types present. OSHA 1910.147 requires isolation of every energy source before servicing. Each type requires a specific isolation method and verification step.
⚡Electrical energy (motors, panels, circuits)
💨Pneumatic energy (compressed air, gas)
💧Hydraulic energy (pressurised fluid)
⚙️Mechanical energy (springs, gravity, flywheels)
🔥Thermal energy (steam, hot fluids, furnaces)
⚗️Chemical energy (process lines, reactive materials)
⬇️Gravitational energy (suspended parts, elevated loads)
☢️Radiation or laser energy
Step 3 of 4
LOTO procedure compliance
Answer each question for your current LOTO practice. These reflect the core procedural requirements of OSHA 1910.147(c) and (d).
Does each piece of equipment have a written, machine-specific LOTO procedure?
OSHA 1910.147(c)(4) requires documented procedures for each machine or equipment unless a single written procedure covers a group of similar machines
Is each authorised employee provided their own individual lock and key that only they control?
OSHA 1910.147(c)(5)(i): each worker must apply their personal lock. A supervisor lock alone is insufficient and a common violation
Is zero energy state verified by attempting to start the equipment after lockout is applied?
OSHA 1910.147(d)(6): after applying LOTO devices, verify isolation by attempting to operate the equipment. This is the most commonly skipped step
Are stored energy sources (springs, hydraulic pressure, steam) relieved or restrained after lockout?
Residual stored energy is a primary cause of LOTO-related fatalities. Bleed lines, block suspended parts, and discharge capacitors before starting work
When multiple workers service the same equipment, does each apply their own personal lock?
OSHA 1910.147(f)(3): group lockout requires each authorised employee to personally apply their lock. One lock for multiple workers is not compliant
Step 4 of 4
LOTO program and training status
OSHA 1910.147(c)(6) requires training for all authorised employees, affected employees, and other employees. An annual periodic inspection of each LOTO procedure is also required under 1910.147(c)(6)(i).
Does your facility have a written Energy Control Program (ECP) covering all LOTO procedures?
A documented ECP is required under 1910.147(c)(1). It must cover scope, rules, and techniques for controlling hazardous energy
Have all authorised and affected employees received OSHA-compliant LOTO training?
Authorised employees must be trained in recognising hazardous energy, methods of isolation, and the energy control program
Is each LOTO procedure reviewed and certified by an authorised employee at least annually?
OSHA 1910.147(c)(6)(i)(B) requires an annual certification review of each procedure to verify it remains adequate
If tagout devices are used instead of lockout, is it documented that lockout is infeasible for the equipment?
OSHA requires lockout whenever possible. Tagout-only programs require additional protective measures and documented justification
Has there been a LOTO-related incident, near-miss, or OSHA citation at this facility in the past 3 years?
Prior incidents indicate systemic program failures. OSHA frequently re-inspects facilities with prior LOTO violations
