Lockout Tagout (LOTO) Safety Program
To ensure compliance with Cal/OSHA regulation Title 8 CCR 3314, the procedures identified in this plan establish the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy whenever maintenance or servicing is done on machines or equipment. The procedures shall be used to ensure machines or equipment are stopped, isolated from all potentially hazardous energy sources and locked out before employees perform any servicing or maintenance where the unexpected startup of the machine(s), equipment, or release of stored energy could cause injury.
This program covers the control of hazardous energy (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or other energy) to prevent the unexpected or accidental starting or activating by employees of machinery or systems while they are being repaired, cleaned, and/or serviced, and to establish a safe and positive means of shutting down machinery, equipment, and systems.
