Your Safety Our Priority LOCKOUT TAGOUT Self Audit Tool

Additionally, this will give the user an understanding on how their LOTO set up compares to best practice. Upon completion, next step actions will be made clear to the client who can then request support to sufficiently improve the process, procedure & equipment. All relating to hazardous energy isolation and avoiding contact with moving machinery.
138 Workers killed 2023/24 in workplace accidents www.hse.gov.uk/statistics Lockout Tagout is the best possible practice for the control of hazardous energy. It’s estimated that 120 fatalities and around 50,000 injuries are actually prevented directly due to the correct use of LOTO on hazardous energy every year. Yet, Lockout Tagout still seems to only be used to a fraction of the levels that it should be. Below you will see a checklist to compare your current processes to, if any areas are lacking or you feel could be improved. Spectrum are available to assist with improvements through free of charge consultations, surveys and product supply.
