Scout's Toolbox Talks
🔐 Lockout/Tagout (Hazardous Energy Control)
LOTO Procedures (Step-by-Step)
A missed step in Lockout/Tagout can be the difference between safe and fatal.
Every Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedure must follow a specific sequence to safely control hazardous energy. These toolbox talks break down the step-by-step process: notifying affected employees, shutting down equipment, isolating energy sources, applying locks and tags, verifying isolation, and restoring power after work is complete. Use them to help workers follow a consistent, OSHA-compliant LOTO process from start to finish.
Use these toolbox talks to reinforce proper energy control procedures and prevent serious injuries caused by unexpected equipment startup.
