Lockout Tagout Machinery Example (Safe and Unsafe) | Safety Animation

Lockout Tagout

Our animation provides an example of how the Lockout Tagout procedure can prevent injury and be life-saving in the workplace.

The procedure serves four very important purposes:
- To protect the person working on the equipment;
- To protect other workers in the area;
- To protect the equipment; and
- To serve as a communication device for all involved.

LOTO Is Required When:
- Servicing or maintaining energized equipment;
- Safety guards are removed or bypassed; and
- Worker has to place any part of his or her body in the equipment’s point of operation.

I know 3 people count THREE. Because someone saw the lock out, decided to remove it anyway and turn it on. Resulting in said person being hurt.

If you’re walking around the shop floor with a coffee cup you shouldn’t be turning on random machines anyways.

Also If it has keys put them in your pocket

Thank you Sir/Madam for this video. Sir/Madam, would you give me permission to show this video to my office department I'm working for? I just want to share to increase my team's knowledge in HSE. Thank you very much

This should not be funny, but it is. "Oh, I'll just turn on this random machine!" Zero situational awareness.
