Lockout tagout procedures protect workers from the unexpected release of hazardous energy during maintenance, servicing, and repair of plant and equipment. Under WHS regulations and AS/NZS 4024, workplaces that carry out maintenance on machinery and electrical equipment are required to have documented lockout tagout procedures and the physical equipment to implement them.
Industro supplies lockout tagout signs, tags, locks, and ancillary equipment to manufacturing plants, maintenance teams, electrical contractors, and any workplace that services machinery or equipment with stored energy sources.

LOTO compliance in Australian workplaces
AS/NZS 4024 sets out the requirements for the control of hazardous energy in the workplace. Where plant is serviced or maintained, a documented isolation procedure must be in place, and physical lockout or tagout devices must be used to prevent equipment from being energised while work is in progress.
A written lockout tagout program, supported by the right physical equipment and signage, is the standard required by WHS inspectors in any manufacturing or maintenance environment.

What is the difference between lockout and tagout?
Lockout involves physically securing an energy isolation point with a lock so it cannot be re-energised. Tagout uses a warning tag at the isolation point when a lock cannot be applied. Where possible, lockout is preferred because it provides a physical barrier, not just a warning. AS/NZS 4024 covers both methods.
How many locks does a LOTO procedure require?
Where multiple workers are involved in a maintenance task, each worker must apply their own personal lock to the isolation point. A hasp device allows multiple locks to be applied to a single isolation point. The equipment is only safe to re-energise when every worker has removed their lock.
